Country Notes from England  Welcome to Country Notes from England—a gentle journey through the peaceful beauty, traditions, and seasonal rhythms of rural England.  Some of my most cherished childhood memories are of slow walks with my grandmothers, wandering quiet country lanes or pottering in the garden. There they would teach me the names of the flowers, trees and birds, much of which I, sadly, grew up to forget.  Now a grandmother myself, I find myself yearning for calm, slow living, and a deeper connection with the natural world.   Join me on a journey of gentle rediscovery as I explore the contryside and timeless village life in England. Let's celebrate the simple pleasures of the seasons, and share stories, photos, and videos that capture the charm of rural lanes, wildflower meadows, and gentle drives.
