let's go countryside

When I was 10, my mom, my brother and I went to England. Among the many places my aunt and uncle brought us, we went to the Lake District. It was simply beautiful. Beau-ti-ful. It was my first taste of the English countryside. As far as countrysides go, the Lake District might be the best first taste you can have. 

I consider myself a city girl, but I can't deny that the countryside enchants. I dream of living in a charming cottage with a red door; vines climbing up a house with painted window panes and window boxes filled with delicate flowers, a thatched roof and maybe a pond with some ducks quacking about. And of course, tracts and tracts of land.
