To want to live away from people, in a quiet field or something

[Summertimesadnessssss]

That's it really.
We live on an estate, good mix of bought properties, HA rented and private landlords.
Day to day all decent folk but the minute the good weather comes it's like wow
We were woken at 7am this morning by one neighbour power washing his car and driveway. Not sure what the urgency was to complete said task
Other neighbour starts mowing the lawn around 7.30
Then we have the hot tubbers, out late morning, on the drink, roaring and shouting the drunker they are getting. Sound bar on with some sort of techno music. Vibrating the full street
Another appears to be burning something in their garden and it stinks

What's wrong with people? Does the good weather make people lose all sense of thought for people around them who might want to enjoy their gardens?

Every summer I remember I am not patient enough for this life 😂

I used to live completely alone on an otherwise uninhabited island, which used to get cut off for weeks at a time in bad weather. Even then I used to get woken by the seals, sheep, seabirds on the roof and wind.

People want to get their jobs done early to avoid the heat of the day I would guess

if you live in the middle of fields it’s the tractors all day and all night -

The DIYers ere probably getting jobs done before it got too hot.

Burning stuff definitely unreasonable

People enjoying their gardens... its 50:50

Never mind. There are only one or two very warm days a year.

L’enfer; c’est les autres.

Semi rural here. Tractors and farm machinery are regularly heard hurtling down the road. When I lived in an urban area, it was neighbours and loud parties every weekend. You can’t win at times!

I live in the middle of fields! It’s bliss! At certain times of year there are tractors but I don’t get disturbed by them and my kids love them! I do find my neighbor across the field annoying as she cuts the grass every second day in summer….crazy.

what you describe sounds hellish!

Sounds utter bliss.

I live rurally. Rather than neighbouring humans, I get woken up by sheep and birds!

However, having stayed with family in the area where I grew up, I'll take the sheep and birds over people. I've seen more people in the last 24 hours than I have in the time that I moved away, there is too much traffic and drunk people walking by at midnight isn't fun when you're trying to sleep in a heatwave!

Just shows your never truly alone.
Joking aside did you like that life?

Playing music in your garden is anti social.. playing it loud is just rude. Making it techno or rap is sadistic.

Definitely consider moving house.

I live in a detached house with a 200m driveway inbetween 2 fields and surrounded on 4 sides by fields.

There’s a few sheep another 2 fields away and occasionally cattle in the one behind us. I only hear tractor noises very occasionally. My chickens can be quite noisy after they’ve laid an egg but as there’s only 7 of them, I can cope. 😂

I used to live in cities and towns but then we retired to the country. (A different country as it was cheaper!)

Most people can't afford houses like that and have to rub along with other people. Unless the behaviour of neighbours is persistently antisocial I think people make too much of a big thing about other people in their vicinity. However it seems a lot of people on here resent others being anywhere near them.

I live in an older suburb so lots and lots of houses around but my house is just so quiet. The odd bit of building work (everyone is gradually putting in drives), a lawnmower once in a while, kids playing in the nursery at the top of the street, the odd dog barking when it's let out for a wee, but by 6pm all I hear is birds singing. And it's bloody bliss.

Unfortunately a divorce means I'm moving in a couple of months time and I'm dreading not having this peace 😭

C'est vrai

Sending a hug

I'm out my huff now, it was just a lot happening in a short space of time before my eyes even came into focus
Thankfully as the afternoon went on it settled rather than got worse 😂

I live in a similar area. I love it.
I wouldn't like to be isolated.
As long as people calm down by a certain time. It is quite now.

Heaven.

Over the last few days I swear that every time I’ve sat down to enjoy the sun in my garden someone nearby has started with the power washer or the lawnmower or the neighbour across the way who just power saws shit at all hours of the day, no idea what! No one’s fault of course, nothing to be done, they are perfectly entitled. But it would be nice to have peace and quiet!
Sunshine does bring out the idiots though. The increase in fires because drunk people can’t use disposable barbecues safely.
People in hospital with sunburn and sunstroke.
Drunken loutish behaviour on public transport.
Littering on beaches.
Poor dogs being walked in the middle of the day when the heat is at its worst. I cringe when I see them panting and looking utterly miserable.
I don’t know why but people’s judgement and consideration just goes out the window. I think folks go a bit crazed cos we get so little sun! Not that it’s an excuse.

Think you need a balance. Pre divorce I lived in a detached house that was semi rural I suppose (farmers fields to the back and one side of the garden, one house on the other side and then playing fields, wedding venue style hotel opposite and then fields behind) and even though it was beautiful, I did feel lonely at times, I’m not very social or extroverted but I think I’m a bit of a people watcher and there was nothing.

Now I live in a two bed semi, and although I do back onto a bit of green space (not rolling fields or anything) it’s a normal street with the same parking/bin/whoonearthishavingagardenfireat3pm?! issues as everyone else and I quite like it.

YANBU. Except you don't need to live in a field in the middle of nowhere. I live in a village in a fairly rural area (but only 15 mins' drive from a reasonable sized town). It's very quiet here except twice a year when there's the village fête or the beer festival. Most of the people on my road are elderly couples with spaniels .
