Re: ;)
Apologise for your English!? don't be absurd. It's better than my Latvian, and I started learning that when I was 30 :). It's nice to hear some good things about normal England (outside of the noise of social and mainstream media). It sounds like - to use the gardening metaphor - you have good soil for a practical, ex-soviet republic citizen to take root in. I'm glad to hear that people seem to be just getting on with their lives. Of course, in my experience, the English only really get going with their opinions after they have a few pints in their local - something probably hard to do right now.

By the way, our garden has never been better since this crap began - though that is mostly down to the missus.

Cheers!
