THE NEWCOMERS

We have been living permanently in the village for six years. We moved from the frenetic south east
of England and particularly appreciate the tranquility and pace of life. As we drive round our
beautiful countryside we have to remind ourselves that we live here and are not on holiday.
Our house is 773 metres (2 536 feet) above sea level. We have four distinct seasons. The winters
are cold with quite a lot of snow and the summers hot.
