You may recall that Casey 'escaped' last year (twice), both times people nearby brought him back, they knew where he lived even 'tho they hadn't met or ever spoken to us
Generally speaking people are orientated to the rural life here. We are so lucky that the people behind us will be having horses (and chickens) and now that neanderthal man has snuffed it things are looking up. We still have a busy A road outside but apart from morning and evening 'rush' hours it's not too bad.

Same thing with Knettishal Heath, last year it somehow got featured in the Sunday Times, for weeks after that we had all sorts wandering around there, met two adult males, when they saw Casey & Rianna one said "Oh we don't like dogs" so why come to an area where every dog owner for 20 miles walks their dogs, some people grrrrrrrrr

For me there is nothing better than listening to the birds in the early morning, much prefer that to traffic noise. In our previous life we had tractors, one in the morning and the same one going home at night. Didn't mind that either, but once a year for about two weeks we had tankers taking waste from a nearby village septic tanks, they must have been on bonus rates 'cos they used to drive the lorries like maniacs and the noise annoyed me intensely, but after two weeks they were gone and peace descended again on our isolated little farm.
