Hi Tyson. Your title caught my eye as my field of research is the psychology of home and how we attach to people and places. https://findinghome.substack.com/

And your piece does indeed resonate with me. I've lived most of my life in cities but I was born in the country and bought my first home in the country, where I loved living for over a decade, but now I'm back in a city again. And longing for the country...

Bucolia - a wonderful word. Thank you for that. If I ever use it, I'll give you credit.

Elements of this reminded me of a question you've asked before (in whichever recent economic downturn) about "whether you lost your job whether you'd look again for the same thing?" And if not, then why don't you light the match yourself, so to speak.

Also, I feel we could all do with a few more genuinely charming country weddings like that :)
