Same with 'incomers' - we moved to Spain in a rural area and accept that life in the country comes with all that farming and smallholding has to offer - sometimes mud on road, manure, muck spreading, animals - what really irritates are those who come and buy holiday homes and complain about everything - if you want it sanitised - stick with your lot and stop moaning..... |
Ditto for rural England. I'm afraid I got quite heated at a dinner party last week. A new couple have moved up from Surrey and I listened to her complaining about the neighbours cockerel, no Waitrose, not being able to move a few yards in the market without having to "negociate around people chatting away as though they have all the time in the world". I bit my tongue for a long time and eventually suggested, very politely, that she might not be suited to rural life!
I like France,
I love Northern Spain,
I ADORE South Shropshire. |
