The missus and her family are dead keen for me to visit in the village. I've managed to make half-arse convincing excuses for the past four years. When I did go there, I was treated like a king, but, the boredom just crushes me in a few hours. It's a shame, but, if I'm honest, I'd have to say I hate it.
Dunno how you guys do it, living in the boonies. To me it's the closest you can get to a living death.
