Oh, no, from what I know it's definitely nothing like this. Even the village I live in is more busy than the true countryside. I couldn't imagine living in a city though, the space is always nice to have, even if it's a bit more of a commute for mum.

Around about. It's usually a long trip, but it's a pleasant one. The trolley witch should come around at lunchtime, and there's always something nice to get off there.
