I'm not bothered by people wanting out of the EU if they have arguments that stand up to enquiry - or at least aren't entirely false/racist; that's certainly the case around here. And having been quite shocked at the vitriol aimed at the travelling community, I'm starting to understand why (intimidation, sometimes violence, always a fuck-ton of rubbish abandoned). I'll be doing the open gardens before long at this rate.
The wife and I have thrown ourselves into village life. I'm heavily involved with the local residents' group; she's on the PTA. We are not unhappy by any means. But after two-and-a-bit years here, I'm disappointed that we so often find ourselves feeling a bit out of place and wonder if that will ever go away.
