Life in our little village just seems to get better, I was outside working and a local wandered by, we started chatting and 5 minutes later he invited me down to the pub to buy me a pint. He introduced me to a few of the other locals and on the way back I got chatting to a bloke restoring an old chapel. I cant get over the friendliness of the locals and fail to see all the long faces and misery I was warned about. :thumbsup:

OK :confused:
BTW, the USA actually has some truly awesome (pints??) these days even though they are not actually pints. Somebody stepping forward to buy you one is another matter. |

Re: Very pleasantly surprised.
I'm a bit late to contribute to the discussion on views but here's my twopenneth anyway. We had a fabulous view in Sydney, our house looked down into the a bush valley with a river snaking away into the distance. We bought the place very quickly once we had moved to Aus as we had a baby on the way & just loved that view! Unfortunately the house turned out to be very child-unfriendly & loads of other issues we hadn't appreciated at the time (flat metal roof in that climate being the main one!). But we still loved the view, me especially being a stay-at-home mum so I spent a lot of time with young baby gazing out the window.
However eventually we got used to it. I still worried about finding a house back in the UK a poor comparison as you tend to just see your garden & other houses & indeed with the place we are now in this is true. But an advantage is that I take more notice of the things close up, like the plants, trees & wildlife. And as the seasons change much more noticeably here there is more to see. But I do agree you do have to have a little bit of greenery or something to look at, not just the neighbours brick wall. |
