The villagers have a well, and a manual pump. The water seems okay (according to my husband - I've never been there).
Their way of life makes them incredibly strong, resilient and resourceful.
I've mentioned this before. I had a most enlightening conversation with a pair of dreadful white colonial types from South Africa, visiting in Norfolk with their daughter. They were bemoaning the fact that now that 'the blex' are in charge, they can't employ 'bleck staff' for the equivalent of five pounds per week to do their cooking, laundry and work on the land of their farmstead.
They spoke to my husband with utter contempt and I bristled.
They were constantly afraid they might be attacked by 'maurauding blex' and have their stuff stolen.
I secretly wished this on them, horrid racist exploiters.
