Did you move out of a city during the first lockdown – or have you decided to move since the most recent one was announced?

There was a surge in the number of city dwellers looking for homes outside the city in the summer. If you left the city for the countryside after the first lockdown, has the reality of rural living matched your dreams? Looking now at what cities are like now, are you still glad you left them behind or do you wish you’d held on?

If you kept the faith with city living until the most recent lockdown was announced in January but have now decided to make the move out, what was the final straw and what are your expectations of rural living?
