I have already lived both; I am living the country life (except for going to town to shop, etc.) now. After 13 years of this life, I love it. I don’t really want to live in town when my husband retires, because there is too much noise and too many people! It will probably cramp my creative lifestyle! ;-0

I prefer a more solitary life, but I wouldn’t mind living a lot closer to town than we do now, like a 10 minute drive outside town rather than our present 45 minute drive! Of course if we did, we would probably spend more money and be tempted to go out to eat more…when I get frustrated with a painting, I might be tempted to say what Alan Rickman’s character, Alexander, in Galaxy Quest said after a stressful situation when Gwen DeMarco asked, “Alex, where are you going?” He said,

“To see if there’s a pub!”
