Well i live in the heart of "The Cotswolds". Rural villages, lots of sheep, rolling hills and valleys, lots of old country houses. Its nice and i often feel privilaged that my parents moved to such a nice part of England (We moved from London when i was a toddler).

Anyway here are just some of the pictures i took yesterday, i may even take more as there is always plenty.....unfortunately it started raining!


A natural spring in our village...

what kind of house do you live in, ben?
a cottage-style house or is it modern?

i remember travelling in the english countryside (where, though, im not sure) when i was a child and dont remember seeing any building that looked as if it had been built in the last 2 centuries!

you do have a wonderful place to live :)
 
Awesome Pictures! I especially love the first one! I visited my bestfriend in England this past March and it was a very pretty place. As you said a whole lot of hills, sheep and villages. We also went to London for three days, which was more my style of place, but I do admit, the countryside was beautiful!
 
I live in an old barn that was converted into a house 30-40 years ago. So it looks nice, and old looking, but inside its quite modern..

Will probably tank more pictures today so watch this space!
