... There's a 2hr conversation about wellies at the bar.

The pub car park is filled with tractors.

There are more dogs in the pub than humans.

You look out of the kitchen window just as some of next door's sheep wander by.

[Meridius]

it stinks like poo

When you realise you have run out of loo roll, and it's a 2 hour drive to get more.

We've just moved to North Devon and all of those are true except the one about mother/sister. It's chuffing great.

You can look outside and everything you see is yours

When you can't hear your neighbours or any traffic........................


Bliss!

[Stickyfinger]

When owls hoot you to sleep and your chickens wake you up, now if only could train the Cockrell to make the coffee

[Yipper]

All you can hear is Mr frog croaking away in the pond for Mrs frog to hop over and get some action.

True 99% of the time. My dad lives in rural Scotland, not far from Balmoral, on the side of a valley with neighbours about 1/2 mile either side of him and they are all friends. There is a house around 1 mile away, directly on the other side of the valley - clear line of sight, but it's still at least 1 mile away. Dad was out doing work on a V8 engine a few weeks ago and had to rev it hard quite a few times as part of the diagnostics (so he says).

Said neighbour from 1-mile over the valley drove all the way over (a good 3 mile journey due to having to drive down one side of the valley, over the river, then back up the other side) just to ask him to stop revving the engine as the sound was echoing around the valley walls and disturbing his Sunday morning. Seems you can never escape the nimbys.

Cool starry bra etc.

The ability to snore helps! It masks other sounds outside.
I have it honed to a fine art!

When you get nervous wibbling over what to do with a miss-delivered hockey stick rather than man up and just sort it
