Despite the fact that a recent trip to the villages brought me pleasant impressions, I don't think I could live in a village.
For me personally, labor on the land seems too hard and monotonous. I can't imagine early rising at 4 am to feed all the animals and birds, clean the stable. Then remembering to weed the beds, harvest the crops. Shovel snow just to leave the house, go to a large store several dozen kilometers away.
