However, we soon learned that you had to get in the car to do everything; buying a pint of milk, even walking the dog as it wasn't safe to walk the dog on the road outside the cottages. I personally wouldn't like that set up. I like my own company but I also like a good natter with other folk too. My husband prefers his own company and works long hours so it would possibly suit him. Reaching a compromise is the challenging part! xSusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-32764589287656878002020-06-08T07:56:00.284+01:002020-06-08T07:56:00.284+01:00Mine are firmly crossed too 😄Mine are firmly crossed too 😄Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-44935474340226005162020-06-08T07:55:35.486+01:002020-06-08T07:55:35.486+01:00Thank you 🙂Thank you 🙂Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-23955256365985275292020-06-08T07:55:19.207+01:002020-06-08T07:55:19.207+01:00I do hope so 🙂I do hope so 🙂Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-57630337094829373532020-06-08T07:54:59.295+01:002020-06-08T07:54:59.295+01:00Thank you 🙂Thank you 🙂Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6501869780961229827.post-67396616623991544362020-06-08T07:54:41.125+01:002020-06-08T07:54:41.125+01:00I think I just need to be nearer people, although ...I think I just need to be nearer people, although we are on a main A road, we are not even in a village.

According to a couple of reports on the news recently, due to Covid 19, an increasing number of people want to move somewhere rural and with more outdoor space, so that should make your place even more desirable. I feel torn between wanting to move somewhere even more remote and become more self sufficient, and wanting to move somewhere easier to maintain with less trailing to get to the nearest town, especially with husband's health issues and work requirements (needs to be near major airport/railway station). Hope you have somewhere to move to if the van isn't available.
