Somerset Village - Nice ones to live in
Discussion
Wells is the place to live, or a village surrounding.
I spent my entire childhood in Bruton and frankly you’ve missed the boat - it’s changing rapidly.
Ultimately it depends on where you want to go most of the time, as if you go into the dark depths you can make driving a pain in the arse as you have to trek to a main road before you can make any reasonable progress.
Currently in West Pennard/Baltonsborough (just outside of glastonbury) and it’s great. Good links to the A37, not far from the A303 and also only 25mins from the M5.
However ultimately we want to be back in wells - but can’t afford the house we want in that specific area.

Bumpkin Update!
Been here a little while now.
Stog is a really active, friendly place. We have been made to feel very welcome, the pub is the hub, I can walk in now and get my pint poured without asking (a problem if I fancy a gin!). Lots going on and a real sense of community which I didn't realise how much I missed.
Been snowed in, run out of oil, wife has become a SLAG (Stogumber Ladies Group, who as far as I can gather just appear to drink a lot) and have made some good friends already.
Dogs are walked daily on the beach, about to get their first load of sheep offal from one of the local farmers and generally are made a huge fuss of everywhere they go - it appears you cannot go to the pub unless you bring at least one dog!
I weekend commute, home on Fridays can be a pain but to pass the time estoy aprendiendo a hablar español, which is going well smile. Monday early start not an issue.
ITS BLOODY QUIET, in a lovely way (other than the pesky steam trains). And dark!!!!
Initial impressions are that I love it. When I come along the top of the valley on a Friday night on my commute in and look down it really is "Chicken soup for the soul".
