Can I run now, mummy? – JD, 4
For me, the number one reason for choosing to live in the countryside rather than the city is the peace.
We can walk, run, play, sing and not see another soul. We can eat sandwiches on an empty bench. We can weave through trees and stop to inspect ladybirds without fear of getting in anyone’s way. We can breath fresh air.
I miss a lot of things about London, but I love it out here and always will.

We, like you in live in the countryside – but I truly find peace in my children’s bedrooms (I have Dalton who is 4 and Belle who is 7 months) when they are safe and sound asleep and we have had a wonderful day with another one just around the corner :)

Totally agree. I’m so pleased we moved from London to the coutryside. It’s the best decision we ever made.
Indeed – wouldn’t say no to an upgraded rail network out here though ;)
Ah that is a gorgeous picture! Where we live is fairly rural and having spent my university years in Manchester, I k ow that I am a country girl at heart, definitely more peaceful!
Thank you :) x
I wouldn’t trade the countryside for ANYTHING! Our kids will take it for granted, and then eventually they’ll just see……
Yup! I couldn’t wait to get into the City when I was a teen – it wasn’t until I had kids that I realised I preferred it where I’d started.
I think the country is a great place to live and the city is a great place to visit.
I totally agree :) x
