 When my wife, two infants and myself first moved to 'Sunnybank' 25 years ago, I knew only Harry Church and Dick West, and was well aware of the thinly veiled hostility to a 'Townie' pervading the majority of British villagers.   Imagine our pleasant surprise to be visited by a purposeful lady, smoking a cherry cob, and greeting with welcome to this community, and expressing the hope that we would find contentment and happiness hereabouts.
