Property.
Is it just my imagination or is it really the case that there seems to be a higher number of properties for sale or rent in the village then is usually the case ?. I dont know whether there are a lot of people moving out of the village at once or whether there are repossessions going on, but there certainly seem to be quite a lot of 'for sale' and 'for rent' signs up around the place at the moment Perhaps we shall be having an influx of new blood into the village. Thats always welcome as long asincomers always remember that the village had an existence before they came and will be there after they have gone. Shared histories existwhich do not always stand up well to newcomers who behave sometimes in the manner of a bull in a china shop.

James, don't blame the newcomers for everything, after all you may be classed as one yourself!, in my time around the village its the busy bodies who don't know how to stop their tongues wagging that causes the problems. Maybe if people got on with their own lives and left others alone things may not be so bad. You can't go anyware around here and not here someone being slagged off and often for the wrong reasons!!!!
Dont forget I was born here and lived here for the first 37 years of my life. I sometimes do feel like a newcomer though, or more properly someone who was out of the loop for about twenty years or so.
Silverton is no better, or worse then most communities of its size for gossip and a lot of the problem here is that its a very small world wioth people living in each others pockets too much. Some people get badmouthed undeservedly but in other cases there are very good reasons for it which are not always known to people who dont know all the histories.Most people who move here fit in well but some can intervene into situations where they dont know all the facts and can make situations worse. On the other hand there are also a lot of old established residents who seem to be able accept people born outside the village or from other parts of the country.
All need to take more care in what they do and say.
