Must admit I am not surprised that Ms Jones has kicked an almighty fuss.

She is hardly complementary about the area in which she lives, she is patronising and winds people up with her actions - such as allowing her lamb killing Border Collie to roam. She seems to make little attempt to settle into country life and moans constantly that she can't get the things she used to buy in London, that the roads have mud on them, that there is hunting and shooting and fishing.

If she doesn't like it she should go back to The Big Smoke.

She drives me mad, goodness only knows how her neighbours feel about her.

Phew, rant over!

And yes, we have lots of things peppered with shotgun pellets round here too!
 
completely agree with Mrselle. If people from the city insist on moving to the country, the least they can do is embrace local ways and values, and obey the countryside code! She talks about her neighbours with such contempt. She moved to exmoor with some schoolgirl, idealistic expectation of how rural life would be. Now she has discovered the reality of it, she should either accept it and make an effort to fit in, or get off back to london.

Doesn't seem that she is good for Somersets' reputation either!!
 
You hit the nail on the head there Woolyjumper, she never made the effort. Well not when I was there, living a mile away from her place....I emailed her a few times in a 'hey we're new girls in town with horses, fancy meeting up for a hack, exploring the area, cracking a bottle of wine'sort of way.

No reply. I'm glad now, Id be embarrased to be associated with her.
 
Can I just say that firstly, her house is outside of the Exmoor National Park boundary therefore she does NOT live in Exmoor. She lives on the outskirts of a village about 2 miles from town! She is not remote or isolated nor on the moors!

She has upset everyone here!

Her mail box had a dent in it that may or may not have been caused by pellets - none were found!
 
You found it then

Must have come as a terrible surprise to find DRUGS in Yeovil!!

I mean, surely, in 'the countryside' people still wear smocks with XXX on them, and move haywains about with cart horses.

She must have had a shock when she realised we have electricity, running water, cars and Waitrose in 'The Countryside'.
