Good luck! I've been freelance for about 8 yrs now but reading that makes me wish I lived closer, id be tempted.

It’s not a bad area to move to!

It’s a fucking shithole. Full of rat race tossers in financed Chelsea tractors and second only to London and the Vatican for the modesty of broom cupboard any average worker could hope to afford. I’m sure your job’s fine but the effluent Home Counties are most certainly not.

Thanks for your input on my job advert thread. Yes there are lots of 4x4 and wealthy people around here. Which means in turn they are happy to pay a fair rate for their tree work. And if they are only having the work done to keep up with the Jone’s next door that’s great more work for us. In turn meaning job security and a good wage for the right person. House prices aren’t that bad but it’s all relative to what you are used to in your area. I probably see more tractors and Landrover’s on the road outside my house. I’m 15 minutes from my yard and it’s pretty rural not a neighbour in sight out of my window!

Some people don’t know what they are talking about! To start with Surrey has the most densely populated woodland per hectare in England!

As long as you don’t need to walk in 15 minutes to a train station, house prices are not to bad.

Where Rhys lives is a good example, and I agree with him you see more John Deere’s and Massy’s than Chelsea tractors!

PS not sure about the bad language as well.
