    But we do have some flippin incredible scenery for all that;)


    Yes and some flippin incredible ignorant people as well.

    Try telling the locals that all Englishmen dont want to enslave the population anymore we just want a nice weekend in the country and to enjoy their company.


    Edit two lovely houses by the way.

    you're probably right but it's not as broad as all property will be dropping by 70%

    That's rather harsh matbe I've been here 20 years and yep there are a few who can be pretty unpleasant, but most of the population just gets on with it's life and so long as one doesn't move down here with the attitude that buying a little house with a bit of land doesn't make you the landed gentry (and boy are there are lot of English with that attitude:D ) then you will be accepted just fine.

    Thanks for the compliment, I'm quite proud of the houses:D
