Country Livin'





Evening all.
A glorious day today.

Took a trip out of town to pick up a pie. Now I know its not really pie weather, but I do like a good steak pie, and had planned an old fashioned friday teatime for me and the boys. So J and I tootled off to our local butchers and felt like we'd travelled a million miles away from home.

We spotted 27 horses.
Lots of blossom - only white today, no pink yet!
Saw no cars.
Heard nothing but birds singing.
Had a conversation about digging the earth with the butcher.
Had a cuddle with our best friend.
Marveled that it would only take 5 minutes to cross the fields and we'd be back in town. We are lucky to be so close to the countryside!

And I'll tell you what- the pie was great. Yum.

Have great weekends. x

  2. Hello Jen,

    These pictures make me want to leave Paris for a day and take a long walk in the countryside somewhere... It reminds me of my childhood in the country when life was so different!
    Glad I found your blog (through Seventy Tree) :)

    Have a great weekend!

  7. Lovely shots! I am a city rat, myself. But I live close enough to the country: mental note made to visit the country more often! Especially since the weather has been so gorgeous here on my side of the pond.
