Political Noise

Bliss

There are countless reasons why we so enjoy our time here in Scotland:  lifestyle, arts, culture, car-free lifestyle, nicest people, hill walking, scenery, Old World, the weather... Well, add to that one additional reason, the lack of constant political noise. It is refreshing to be away from the increased intensity of that noise back in the US; it seems to be a constant on TV, in the newspapers, and elsewhere.


Here, we don't have a TV and we don't subscribe to newspapers. And, we know very little about politics in the UK. Blissful ignorance seems to describe our current situation. Wonder how long that will last?
