Bumfuck nowhere, Southern #England: cutesy high street, rail connections with two different companies, every other property is rife with posh AirBNBs, probably featured in an episode of Escape to the Country, sheep 🐑🐑🐑

Bumfuck nowhere, Central #Illinois: Giant DIY Trump signs, John Deer tractors at four-way intersections, each town has a single block of old brick buildings with at least one restaurant that serves horseshoes, only other store is either a Dollar General or Casey's, cows 🐄🐄🐄
