Hi Deb,
It's a lovely place to live, the people are friendly and The Bull is a great place to drink and eat. Personally it was a bit of a culture shock moving from Hertford town centre to Much Hadham, but if me and my partner ever feel the need to venture away from the village (which is not too often), we catch a bus into Bishops Stortford and then taxi it back. The aeroplanes do not bother us much, they dont seem to go over at night and during the day you only notice when you are sitting in your garden. They are not too frequent either, I believe they work on some kind of air path cycle so as not to use the same path all the time. There are some great places to walk, and if you enjoy art then I would urge you to visit the Henry Moore Foundation.
I feel very privilaged to live in Much Hadham and I dont think I will ever tire of smiling everytime I arrive home from work or the shops
Let me know when you have moved in, then I can welcome you into the village by buying you a beer at The Bull.
Nicky
