Sir, Emma Mahoney’s account of country life (“Stuck in the sticks”, Feb 4) appears to show a mindset problem. Her readiness to give the Wandsworth finger to anyone who challenges her double-parking is self-inflicted unfriendliness, as is her dismissal of offers to share the school run. Her response to the country lady who offered the use of her drive was to mock her hairdo as being comparable to a brioche.
It’s small wonder that she wasn’t mobbed with friendship in the school yard. She needs to take an example from her children, who appear to have embraced life in the country without being suspicious and derisive of every kind gesture.
