I Love … #CountryKids

I love our little piece of the country. We’re half an hour by bus away from a busy commuter town, so close enough for a brilliant shopping centre, but far enough away to feel like we’re away from the hustle and bustle.

I love the buddleia growing in the garden, providing a little pit stop for the bees and butterflies. The children have got used to seeing the insects flying in and out and there’s always a reassuring “yes, we’re here” buzzzzzz when I’m putting out the washing.

I love that this year we have some fruit growing:

Blueberries in the front garden that T looks forward to picking before school:

Conference pears and boysenberries in the back garden:

I love that our cats either wait for us on the front slope:

Or in our twisty trees, we can be coming home wondering where they are and suddenly there’s a “meeeeooooowwww!” and a cat or two will spring out, ready for a roll and a tummy tickle:

I love how the guinea pigs contribute in their own little way by keeping their grass short…nibble, nibble!

I love that there is a massive field within walking distance where T and D can run around, play with a ball and fly their kites:

I love living here.
