And Ronnie brings the staff chocolate every week. So does Kit Kat Connie.<BR/><BR/>Mike, I'm surrounded by fields.

When we moved here there was a garage, a shop/post office, a church, a school and a pub. The last three remain, and are actually doing better than 20 years ago.<BR/><BR/>Most of the shops are owner-run and we have very few chain stores, and most of those are small local ones. Also, a lot of people live in the middle of town, where there are some beautiful old houses.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-32093495562370640832007-09-27T10:00:00.000+01:002007-09-27T10:00:00.000+01:00Now that is a real community.

I suspect that might happen in our village, but then its tiny with only a post office and an antique shop, so people would just be excited to have somewhere else to go...The Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052411992134880131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-50372943485829947682007-09-27T08:36:00.000+01:002007-09-27T08:36:00.000+01:00I think I know the place, although it has been a c...I think I know the place, although it has been a couple of years since I ventured so far south.<BR/><BR/>*Thinks.
