On a minor point, although it sounds very romantic and idylic, I think Josie should think again about buying a cottage, I looked at several "cottages" in 1996 when I moved to Dursley in Gloucestershire, they were all tiny with low ceilings (Luke is 6' 5" -hello) and small windows. Perhaps her definition of a cottage is different to estate agent descriptions.

I agree. I got the impression John lived in the suburbs and that could be quite near the countryside, I think it was def near the sea/beach. I live in a large town but 2 mins away from me is greenbelt farmland and a short drive (5-10 mins) takes you into the middle of nowhere. I think when Josie talks about living in the country she just means she doesn't want to live in a huge metropolitan city. I've never been to Bristol but I'm sure it's quite a busy place. I think she probably means she would like to live in a house, with a large garden (maybe a field for her sheep!) on the outskirts of Bristol or similar, where she has easy access to town living but countryside on her doorstep, best of both worlds really. And I think that's the type of place John lives in at the moment and so don't see him having a problem living somewhere like that here. However, he's not here and we'll never know
With regard to Mark's tweet to Josie last night questioning who Luke is, I think he's a bit of a wind up merchant. I seem to remember in January that he was tweeting out ridiculous nonsense about where Josie was and what she was doing because he thought the effect it had on her fans, particularly us, was funny - he would tweet and we would discuss, sometimes within 2 mins of the tweet lol. I remember feeling a bit annoyed at the time because he was def laughing at us and the implication was that Josie was too, although when I thought about it we did/do jump on any info that came our way so I suppose it is quite funny/weird. So because of this, I am going to assume he sent that deliberately because he knows there are some people who don't believe Luke is a b/f and wants to fuel the fire, cos he thinks it's funny.
I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt re his tweet to John - I do think it's nice he tweeted him and hope it was sent sincerely and not just to see what reaction it causes on here and twitter. Am I a cynic - yes, always have been and John and Josie and their relationship is the only time I haven't been.
