Dianne, talking about dust... when we lived in the country in an ex farm cottage on the edge of a field, I thought the dust was bad, especially at harvest time. Then we lived in Warwick in a house that gave straight on to the street, on a narrow busy main road with tall houses on either side. The dust was worse... and black with exhaust fumes.
Now we are on a nice quiet private road in Morecambe just off the prom but we get sand blown off the beach and dust from our unmade road. Plus building dust from our ongoing renovations... Can't win, but try and develop dust blindness as I have. Quentin Crisp said you don't notice it after four years... we've been here five years on Monday.
