I'm coming towards the end of my England trip (almost 11 weeks now) and have only now realised that I hadn't even written about the place I'm living in!
I'm not staying in London, like most people thought. My aunt lives in a small village in Leicestershire (pronounced "les-ter-shir", if that makes sense), about an hour's train ride north of London. Everyone knows each other here and I've become such a regular fixture over the years that people here think I live here.
So what does one usually see in a small English village?
Some big houses.
Some lovely trees.
Some lovely old churches.
Some sheep.
I'm in love with my black & white photo of this park chairs outside the local playground. Hehe.
Sometimes you see small bridges.
If you're lucky enough, there might be a manor house just outside the village.
Mostly there are fields with grazing cattle...
...Or farms. This one is planted with rapeseed, I think.
A quiet village is a great escape, especially for a city girl like me.

Exactly how I pictured it after watching the Brit movie Hot Fuzz.

P.S. Don't scold yourself for not posting. It's OK because we still keep coming back every now and then. :)

June 4, 2011 at 7:50 AMThe village that you're living in is like a setting in an old English movie. I'd love to experience what it's like living in there. :)
