Changes chez yello; we're moving. All of around 30km from our rural idyll to a town. It's going to be an upheaval for me, I really love our house and garden, the peace calm and tranquility. We bought the new house earlier this year and were lucky to sell our place within a couple of weeks of it going on the market (no chains in France) We've now got a couple of months to move, no pressure.

Is the new place less tranquil?
Slighty, yes. In that you can sometimes hear cars! Here though, at this time of year, I can hear the wonderfully exotic song of the golden oriole. Truly magical. I won't get that, nor the true silence of rurality, in a town.
Moving is about a change, and wanting to reduce reliance on motor vehicles. We can walk to a market, to shops etc. It's about interaction too; more people around. Rural living can be isolating, and as we get older we've decided that could be an issue.
And I get to join a new cycling club.
