10 Things I Loved About My Country Weekend

1. The gorgeous weather as I left London on Friday.
2. Watching the sunset during our road trip for a weekend in the countryside.
3. Admiring vintage cars on Saturday afternoon.
4. Waking up in the softness and simplicity of this room, where all that could be heard was the sound of birdsong, was total bliss.
5. I couldn't help but take this photo - it was like a scene out of Wind and The Willows!
6. Loved looking at all the old Tudor buildings in the small market towns we visited.
7. The colourful stripes on these beer barrels caught my eye.
8. Spending several hours walking around winding, cobbled streets was idyllic.
9. Happening upon a massive firework display late on Saturday night and then standing in the rain to watch them. Those impromptu moments in life are always the best, right?
10. Loved the colourful stripes on this rug.

  8. Love the beer barrels and the highway shots. The highway looks like it could have been taken in Montreal except the cars are driven on the other side! I also watched fire works from my balcony on saturday. I alway go back to being 5 years old when I see them.

  12. Will -- If a design or travel magazine hasn't already hired you as a full-time staff member, then the British Tourist Authority needs to: Photo 8 captures, in a single image, what so many of us love about Britain! Right out of an E.M. Forster film; lovely. XOXO, Michael
