I love the sound of where you live it might have been the mention of pigs (but obsessed) but although I don’t live on a farm but a small town I totally get where your coming from it took me a while to adjust when I went from my home town of Yeovil a big bustling town to the little seaside town of highbridge and burnham !!
I grew up in a big village near Bristol. Not only did it have shops but it had a prison too! Then at 18 I moved to London and lived in the not so posh bit of Fulham. I absolutely loved city living. To hop on a bus and go to Oxford Street on my days off or wander down the Kings Road after work was bliss. The noise snd the people didn’t bother me. Post children and we moved to a hamlet in deepest darkest Kent. We bought wellies and waxed jackets ( not the posh ones but from M&S ) and embraced village life. I even ended up working in the village school. We had tons of friends and the boys adored the freedom. In 2003 we moved to Swindon on a new estate. I got excited that there was an Asda in walking distance. The boys hated it and my husband left me. The town itself is ok but it’s not for me and I’d love to move back to the country but with my practical head on, I’m thinking is it the best place to be when you’re old and not driving snd there are no shops etc? xx
I love to read Amanda Prowse. I hear you on #7. I was born in Dallas. Lived there and raised our family there. Then moved to a small rural town in east Texas. Love it here. But I could live in NYC and love it! Well, the way NYC was just a couple of years ago. Now! It is not the same.
Our town is small and we live on the edge of it. We have a herd of cattle around the corner. We have no farm animals ourselves. We don’t have that much land. Loved this post.
I love this! I live in a kind of mid-way place, small town with lots of farms around it. I love the dark when I’m trying to sleep (no street lights on my street) but hate walking outside in it. Enjoy your beautiful home ❤️
