The advantages of a rural idyll
The advantages, I shall list them for ease of brainstorming:
No traffic jams
No traffic lights
No roundabouts
No 24 hour Tesco
No evil supermarkets fullstop
No traffic wardens!
No door to door salesmen
People who know each other
Waving at every car/person you see is a habit
Children who are allowed to 'go out to play'
Peace and quiet
Oh so pretty-ness of surroundings
Living by the sea
Cute baby cows
Other more surprising wildlife (seals otters and deer (and eagles))
Morning beachcombing
Not watching TV (only me, not everyone)
Having a butcher and a baker
Growing tomatos in the garden
Kindness of folk
Agricultural shows
Pubs where the barstaff get you 'the usual'
Lots of visitors
Excitement when you go 'to the mainland' (Woolworths - woo hoo!!)
Discovering that you don't necessarily miss trudging round town on a Saturday
The joys of Royal Mail - parcels - love it!!
