new home, new people...

My friend has kindly reminded me about updating my blog, which I am doing immediately after having finished our converssation. At first the fact, then lots of my thoughts. We live in a tiny village as they call them hamlet here where 140 people reside. We will have a chance to meet most of them next week during St. Peter's fun day to which we have been invited. There is no way we cannot go...everybody is expecting us whoever everybody is. We have been to a local pub which is literally a minute walk from our house. I do not like pubs too much, but this one was charming. Next time we are there I need to take some pictures to show them to you. And the village itself is as you already know microscopic, has probably 4 -5 streets, a church and the pub. There is not even a shop here! What is here is a great sense of peace, although some of the noise from the motorway can be heard almost all the time, apart from the nights. There are plenty of footpaths and bridleways which are great for short and long walks with our dog. The only bad thing about the location of this place is the distance to work...I have to spend up to 2h a day instead of 40mins before we moved here...that's a great difference, but I sort of like driving, it wakes me up and have time to think a little. Of course I wish I had a Ferrari instead of my fiesta ...
