Beautiful neighbourhood

Our neighbourhood is beautiful, apart from a few rotten apples in terms of houses and mess. There is a house that is a ruin but is still lived in, and our neighbour has a huge mess at home.

Cosy

Friendly, cosy, helpful, nice people. In terms of housing it's like everywhere, almost nothing for sale or way too much overbidding and nothing to rent.

Pearl of a village

We miss shops here, there is far too little for a village that has its own hospital. No terraces. Not even a cup and saucer for sale here. Otherwise wonderful.
