Oh I do love to be in the countryside!

Posted on October 5, 2011 by

I didn’t tow a boat, but I sure did walk along many towpaths. And footpaths. And bridleways. And country lanes. I walked through fields, up and down hills, through woods, over bridges and along the river. This book-inspired holiday definitely wasn’t a relaxing, restful one. But with such beautiful countryside waiting to be explored, and the glorious weather we were lucky to have, staying was not an option. Even if the b&b we stayed at was adorable and the full English breakfast every morning made taking naps very tempting. Here are some of my favourite pictures…

    Wow. I want to be frolicking in those fields right this second. So lovely. I’ve never been to England, but it’s next on the list. Thanks for sharing these pictures.

      I know there are myriads of touristy things to do here, but I highly recommend a visit to the English countryside, all you need is your camera and a pair of wellies!
