Daydreaming of an English Countryside Life

Epiphany. I need to be in an English cottage surrounded by my garden of hollyhocks. A stone half-wall leads to the little wooden gate which swings behind me as a I go for a stroll down the cobblestone lane. I get groceries from the little market and meet local friends for fish and chips. On sunny days, I stroll outside of town and wander along to the shore with my fluffy dog at my heels. And I don’t have to work because I just got a big inheritance. 🇬🇧 Life. Solved. Now, if only I could figure out what to do with these real-life children and husband. It would make finding that new British love easier… and a bit more ethical. 😉 British daydream prompted by: 📕The Magnificent Mrs. Mayhew ✍️@themillyjohnson Some of the characters have a bit of language, but I really enjoyed it! Kid: Why have you been reading your book all day? Me: Because I can. Start it on a day where you can dive in. 👉Hit me with suggestions of your favorite English countryside novel. I do love them so! 📸Clava Cairns near Inverness; April 2019
