From my front window I can see almost everyone coming and going from the village and greet the neighbours. The birds wake me up with their singing and come to eat from my birdhouse. The villagers are very friendly and helpful. Things are regularly organised, such as shuffleboard or billiards, and a barbecue every year. The windmill turns regularly and every Sunday you can have a cup of coffee at the mill. Once a month there's a Friday afternoon drink and once a month a Wednesday morning coffee in the village hall. I never want to leave here and am glad I moved here. In terms of safety, you can leave your door open or your car unlocked, your things in the garden, because no one will ever touch them. The community is very compassionate. Hygiene, I never see rubbish on the street and the bin is emptied every week. Housing, as far as I know there are no empty houses. Education, you have to go to another village for that. It's green everywhere here. There is no shop or GP; they are 2 km away in the next village, Eenrum. The village is easily accessible, also by bus.
