We watched the Ben Fogle New Lives In The Wild on Channel 5 on Wednesday night. It featured an English couple who looked up houses on Right Move for 3 grand and they found an old rural house with land in Hungary. Did you see it?
The programme started with Ben walking down a street asking people if they knew where the English couple lived? We must have all done something similar in a foreign country. It reminded me of the time myself and the missus went to Folkestone in the middle of the snow one February, like you do! We stayed in a B & B and they served our breakfast in our bedroom? Seriously.
Any road. We decided to go on a ferry to Boulogne for the day. When we got there we went in a cafe/bar and had a couple of drinks and the best omelette and French fries we have ever tasted. Then we went into an "Oirish (Irish) pub. It had all the traditional fittings and they even made a shamrock in the froth of your Guinness. Only trouble was none of the bar staff spoke English. No problem thinks me. All I did was gesticulate and make hand signals for a large glass, small glass and two fingers for: two drinks. Who needs translation books of even French lessons?
Any road again. The couple in Hungary said they had a budget of six Pounds a day to live on. I bet six Pounds goes a lot further than it does in Britain or Ireland? I say fair play to them for having the get up and go for making a new life in the countryside. Don't fancy killing rabbits though. Think I would buy them oven ready from the rabbit owner up the road.
I decided long a go the only way to get away from the rat race is to live on a smallholding or even get yourself an allotment. I just hope Brexit doesn't stop people from living their rural dream in other countries.
