The point is, the countryside is a good place to make friends. A few, of course, only spoke to us because of the dogs or the kids and they didn’t all have smiles on their faces. In Paris I lived in the same building for 6 years and though I was little by little on friendly terms with most of the occupants I never really befriended more than a handful. A car takes you further, faster, but on foot you will see more, learn more. It’s the difference of driving down a street or walking down it. Not that you’d necessarily want to avoid them but all the convenient excuses that city life provides are removed by the slow motion of “ la vie de campagne”.
If you ever find yourself living in the country you will soon discover how hard it is to avoid your neighbors.
