If you want rural go to Scotland, the West Country or the Cotswolds. Don't come to Norfolk, there's literally nothing here but flat landscapes, terrible roads and yokels that look at you funny if you don't have the local accent.

You've met Ammo as well then?

not many jobs round here in the west country towns, unless you like factory work

I have several ideas including the restoration/maintenance of stables and barns for horsey people, trading with firewood and timber (imported) or frying and selling the absolutely magnificent Hungarian pancakes from a mobile/caravan type "mass-feeding facility" at different events, making graphic design and decorations, etc. Whatever's in demand, really. Or make a bar with Hungarian girls - Amsterdam-style. I know you'd love that! :mrgreen:

As for the accent - I pick up whatever I hear.

If you come to Scotland dont worry too much about the weather - its the midges you have to concern yourself with! Spent last week Camping in Glenmore (just outside Aviemore). Weather was shocking but good waterproofs make it ok. It was the midges that were unbearable - 24/7. The only way to stop them was to wear midge/mosquito headwear anc cover absolutely everything else!!! Wee b*stards :x Mental!
Aviemore is a great wee town. Always packed year round with tourists and could be a good place for a 'new' venture

Nandi. There is a lot of equestrian activity around here but I think in most of England's countryside. Try youtubing a few episodes of bbc escape to the country. I think the eastern region will suit you, but then Im biased. Will chat to you on fb.

All these pro's and con's. I love them!
I'm still quite undecided on what I'm going to do. Getting a 5G will be one, that's for certain. :)
The midges - I know... They surely are a pest. I missed the chance to meet them as the nine days I spent in the Highlands were in February when they were dead/dormant.

Jay... Is there anything in the South that could put me off of the place as much as the midges in Scotland?
