You will probably have to make increasing sacrifices as a consequence of
that lifestyle decision, as fuel gets more expensive.

Yep, I accept that and we already do. It's to far to go for a trip to a
decent cinema, the theatre or even a good indian restaurant. But it's far
better living here than on an anonymous estate where you don't even see
your neighbours 10 yards away let alone know them.

Yup. I would be doing the same in your shoes.
