i feel like a bit of a veteran now living in cockermouth. after the initial shock and the bonus of the genuine kindness and goodness of the community - well, it is just a bore and a lot of hard work, for months, and the worry lasts for years. very sorry for anyone (including myself) that has to go through all this shit. be ready to punch the next climate change denier you meet. and do you what you can to support our brilliant public service workers
