couldnt agree more. Ive never regretted moving out into rural suffolk from the subs of London / Essex.
Only slight downside for me was the need to purchase myself a 4x4 as there have been numerous times where the weather has made it impossible for me to get out of the house to even the nearest village. But even that has been balanced now that ive bought an X-Trail (soft roader ;-) ) . Its a damn sight cheaper to run than the oild Landrover.
