Ah, village living. You can't beat it. It's the English dream. There's the corner shop, there's the post office, there's the pub, there's the local school and doctor's surgery. Unlike so many small communities, they are all present and correct. Everything you need is a short walk from your front door. People stop and chat as they pass to and fro. This village is alive, a real community. It's a bit different, though. Not too many rural settlements boast their own swimming pool and gym, let alone a crèche. And hang on - the village green - who put that 300 feet up in the air?
