That sounds like my village, I live just outside the village (about a 5 min drive)huh, Sounds kind of like SK. Next town over being an hour away kind of thing. NS is pretty close. Most towns are about 15 - 20 minutes apart, with houses all along the main roads.
I'm in the middle of nowhere. I live near the "town" Which consists of a school, robin's donuts, a pharmacy, grocery store, and gas station. And there are 3 major towns 30 - 45 minutes from here. The city is about an hour.
The only thing I liked about city living was I wasn't scared of middle of the night wildlife.
We have a post office, a bakery, a lollie shop, a few cafes, one boutique, and a real estate. It’s a really sweet little village. My dad and I used to ride the horses up to the village on a weekend and have breakfast up there
