I LOVE this little farm...

[oz in SC]

I guess I have a soft spot for the way English farms are....

Luckily this pic was taken after the spring muddy season! You really need the wellies then!

[oz in SC]

Well yes.

Wellies(Welly's??) are certainly needed there....

Good reason WHY it is so green.

[Jan Doling]

Ah, but that moisture makes the lasses rosy!

[oz in SC]

There was a good reason fo rthose rosy cheeks...they were freezing to death.



I still do love England.

But SO expensive.

For the look of a place it would be where I would want to live,everything else about it not so much...

what would those fences be made out of? They look like they'll last for centuries unlike the wood ones around here.

Oh it's ages since I heard the word "mac"!

Wellies, brollies, macs and prams!

I'm all homesick now

It's a lovely farm Oz. I love courtyards.

Quite a few English people here huh?

While not strictly English I do believe I absorbed a LOT from my parents...

Although of English descent (not to mention Scots, Irish, Native American, Norwegian, etc.) I am a native Floridian. My children are half-Brit brats and I have a degree in English. Oh, yeah, and I was married over there, but we won't hold the ex's faults against his lovely homeland. It is especially wonderful in late spring and summer.

OZ in SC, Thanks, that's gorgeous! So have all of you read AKENFIELD? The study in the 60's about the prevalence of past farming life that had crept into the presence? It's an amazing book! ldc

What a lovely photo, oz! We were there a couple of years ago, and I just loved all of those stone walls. Saw a lot from the train to Manchester (from London). Beautiful countryside!--RM

Ah farmers' fields- in Wiltshire and Hampshire near where I lived for 4 yrs a man could get 2" taller walking across one of those clay flint fields.
