My place in the Country

My place in the Country resembles the typical 'chocolate box' cottage picture, only it is larger as it is a farmhouse. Built to last it is literally hundreds of years old, constructed of cob and thatch. The cob walls and thatched roof keep us warm in Winter and cool in Summer. There is an Aga range cooker in the kitchen and a woodburning stove in the family room. The views from the windows are mainly of green fields, trees and sheep and bullocks grazing. Golden corn and stacks of straw bales can be seen at harvest time in the Summer. The family horse in the paddock at the front of the house is sadly no longer with us but the memories remain...
