Down The Lane

One of the nice things about living in the countryside (that almost makes up for isolation, lack of public transport, poor internet connection, lack of phone signal etc)is that there's so much pretty about. Just walking down the lane I see loads of lovely trees and flowers and rolling countryside that really puts Bristol to shame. Urban trees can be a nice relief from general concretey greyness and leafy garden-y areas can be pleasant, but nothing beats being surrounded by green with only the sounds of songbirds (plus the odd tractor) in the air.

Bit fanciful? Maybe. But look:
