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
Love that cuddle. Glad you had such a fantastic day and had a great dinner! Happy Weekend. x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen, we did have a lovely trip out, and cuddles always bowl me over too. x
DeleteHello Jen,
ReplyDeleteThese 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!
Hey Annabelle, lovely to meet you. Isn't it funny what you wish for? I loved our trip to the country, but offer me a day in Paris and I'd jump at the chance!! xx

Oh to be back in the countryside.
ReplyDeleteLovely 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks - its great having a bit of green countryside on my doorstep, but it's nice too to walk 5 mins in the other direction for a coffee and a load of decent shops too. I'm a lucky'un.
