I’m a little bit country.
My childhood was spent living in a village in the Vale of the White Horse
with my pony riding on the downs.
Childhood memories of an English Summer
come thick, fast and always with a big sneeze.
I have largely outgrown the grass-fuelled hayfever of my youth,
by not trotting around country lanes, becoming a city slicker helped.
Somehow on life’s rich journey I ended up living in some of the most amazing cities in the world Bruxelles, Hong Kong, and Melbourne.
I love going back to my roots!
I wanted to give a little shout out to Lechlade, a pretty local town on the edge of the Cotswolds. It was recently yarn bombed by the Women’s Institute and looks fantastic.
I love the town’s spirit, you see they have been subjected to two arson attacks which destroyed their Community Memorial Hall. I heard they lost all the towns flags. Well the woolly street art has really brightened the place up.
Three cheers to the Women’s Institute yarn bombers!
