SEASONS AND BEYOND BLOG
For years, I have collected numerous issues of Country Living magazine. To be honest, my perception of the countryside has been largely shaped by the idyllic stories and photos featured in these publications. However, I’m almost certain that true country living comes with its fair share of ups and downs. My longing for a peaceful countryside life might be a bit of a wild goose chase—not because moving to the countryside is impossible, but because it might not match the idyllic images painted by holiday stays, magazine articles, or escape-to-the-country TV programs. Yet, whenever I return to the countryside after time away, I seem to focus only on its positives. There’s nothing better than being woken up by the sound of a rooster, and the constant chorus of farm birds throughout the day is a comforting reminder that you’re in the heart of the country. For me, spending time surrounded by animals and their sounds is incredibly soothing. Unlike the noises of the city, which I often find irritating or overwhelming, the sounds of the countryside help me unwind. Interacting with animals adds another layer of joy. Whether I’m stroking a soft coat or feeding curious faces, it’s pure bliss—a kind of therapy that words can’t quite capture. Spending time with farm animals not only soothes the soul but also deepens my appreciation for the food we eat and makes me more grateful for the abundance that nature generously offers. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the demands of city life or simply curious about what the countryside has to offer, I encourage you to give it a try. I assure you the benefits of spending time in the countryside are profound, from physical and mental rejuvenation to a deeper connection with nature and a renewed sense of peace. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, the countryside has something to offer to everyone - even my dog would wholeheartedly agree with that. So why not take a break from the daily grind and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of rural life? You might just find the experience transformative.
