Is the countryside really like Dibley?

[LyraSilvertongue]

If so, I want to live there. It's all pretty and soft-focus.

No its not, sorry! I live in cornwall btw.

No, it's full of interbred hicks and animal shite.

LOL.

Erm, no.

That's what I thought.

'Tis all pretty and soft-focus round here.

err, no.
it's full of muddy fields / noise / big cars / crap shops / bad restaurants.... (mostly)

Fucking nutters where I live!

It's a tad more Royston Vasey. Our neighbours (about a mile away) have a lifesize papier mache effigy of a highway patrolman in their porch. In the dead of night you can hear them cackling 'we didn't burn him'.

We love it.

We have lots of midgies are neighbours just the now.

and foxes making odd noises at all hours

Scorpio, we have the fox problem and we're in London.

It'a fabulously pretty round here (apart from the motorway!) I love this time of year.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Yes.

Hahahahaahaha UD!

Dona and puppydogtails, where do you live? I want to move to your village(s).

And the next-door county (Shropshire) is even prettier!

oh UD, you do make me laugh! still laughing intermittently at the Brigadoon reference elsewhere

oh, and in response to OP, yes, it is. Have to fight my way through swathes of cow parsley just to get through front door

but on the other hand, no, is not. Co-incidentally have had long conversation with DH this evening about how the VoD writers had no understanding of the C of E electing a vicar process, or of local planning legislation, etc. Goodness, we are SO middleaged.

pmsl UD

Sounds like Donna lives near me! I'm on the Cheshire-Shropshire border. The sun always shines, even when it's pissing down everywhere else. Always. Well, sometimes.

Yes, def more Royston Vasey round here.

UD - lol
