How much socialization does my puppy need with limited contact?

Question

Is my pup getting enough socialization? We live in small village and don't have puppy schools or play dates for her. (she's well trained anyway) She's really friendly whenever she meets people or other dogs. She sees people and dogs on daily walks, but never has a chance to play with other dogs. And she meets new people who could interact with her quite rare. It's usually just two of us and sometimes other family members. Is she still going to be friendly when shes adult?

AS long as she is generally easy going and has no negative experiences with people she should develop fine with only rare meetings with new people. It can help to take pups to schools and playgrounds to expose them to the noise of busy children playing and also to find a buddy dog (preferably young adult) for her to play with off lead in a secure area also
