Last September, we moved 5 miles up the road from our old house to
become country bumpkins. My dad is training to be a minister and we live just
up the road from his church, sandwiched between a country road and the fields.
Usually, I wouldn't think twice about how amazing this is, purely because
I have always lived a 10 minute walk away from fields, but now I really do live
in the country.
It takes less than a minute to get from our house to the fields outside of
our house which you can see from some of the bedrooms, and they are gorgeous. I can't believe I don't appreciate them as
much as I should. My friends came down from London and absolutely loved it which it made me realise I should appreciate it a lot more than I do.
You don't have to walk for long to appreciate how pretty it is. Its nice
to just be out in the fresh air and doing something rather than just sitting
cooped up inside. Its definitely one of my aims to walk more when I am
home.
It only takes half an hour to walk round the loop but that half an
hour is so calming and refreshing, as well as being good for me, so it is
definitely something I'm going to try and make the effort to do more often.
Do you live in the countryside? Are you like me and take where you live
for Granted? Are you wanting to change that?
