So, as ever there are upsides and downsides of every living location.
Being in the countryside definitely has its challenges, no takeaway delivery, decent drive to any shops and sadly for Ethan, no trick or treaters (good for us)!
However, with that said, the upsides so far, hugely outweigh the downsides. Firstly we have finally been able to go out as a family to watch fireworks this year. Usually one of us is stuck home to look after Linx and Boo who are scared of the bangs. At our previous house in Thatcham, it used to sound as if a war was going off outside, for day after day, from October into the New Year. Where we are now, we haven't heard a single pop (apart from the odd shooting party that drifts through at weekends). Last night we got to attend the fireworks at St Gabrielle's School with friends and it was lovely to be able to do so together.
I also love the doorstep walks and the absolute peace and quiet- heaven!
Tonight we will be staying in with the dogs, but even though its the Saturday before Guy Fawkes I have a feeling it should stay peaceful out here!
