Luka will be pleased to know his favourite comedian Stewart Lee did a funny routine about people from London moving to the countryside and going out of their minds with boredom within months.

a gay couple have moved in from London and opened a quirky antiques shop with a tea room speculatively attached. they're trying to keep the standards up but you can see hope is dying.

the pub has a fireplace but there's never enough wood for a proper fire. graham the architect is in there every day, constantly low level drunk

the younger unmoneyed partner, Sean, is in charge of the baking and fiddling with the espresso machine. the coffee walnut cake is actually very good.

there's a ghost story about a beautiful serving girl who was drowned in a mill pond by a jealous lover in the 15th century. you can learn about it in the local museum.

every rainy day you're picking dejectedly through the detritus in the Donkey Sancturary charity shop again

An interesting aspect of living in the country is that you become a "bigger" person. In the city, nobody notices you, nobody cares you're there or not there.

In the country, you can become a local legend. Good for the ego.

Hard to believe people want to move back there after they've lived in the city. I think it's an age thing, and a having kids thing. Once you have kids (for a few years at least) you can't do all the fun stuff you could before like pubs, clubs, cinemas, etc. So you might as well live in the sticks.
