Here's a pic of Witney town centre, and no, it's not much bigger than what you see here. Luckily for a city gal like me there are mini-me versions of WHSmiths, Dorothy Perkins, Fatface, Costa Coffee, Adams, Waterstones and Boots (not to mentions some rather quaint shops/boutiques/pubs). Now they're not the shops I frequent most, but they do make me feel a little more at home and less like I'm out in the boonies. Being a sucker for programes lik 'Escape to the country' and 'relocation, relocation', it is quite easy for me to be drawn into the fantasy of country living, but realistically, I think the idyll would fade the first time I got the munchies after 10pm at night and there was not a shop open after 5pm. Or, when the only multi-culturism comes via the TV. Nope, proper rural country life is not for me, but market town life is a more realistic expectation. In fact I am really excited about this move, now that I've gotten over my initial reservations about being so far from family and friends.
