Nellie the elephant packed her trunk
This weekend I said Adieu to city living and decided to up sticks for a Symphony Pastoral where I am hoping to awaken some cheerful feelings a la Beethoven (not become the obssession of a dirty old vicar).
I have an aversion to any obvious branding, except for ancient Louis Vuitton, I like the leather to be the colour of a septuagenarian st tropizienne who has never given a stuff about UV protection rather than the sandy coloured new models who tremble under factor 50.
My new abode is an old stately home that has been converted into a number of dwellings, it seems to house some interesting characters and I like the ready made community combined with the remoteness of the location.
At night the stars glow like fairy lights and I hear the church chime the hours. It is magical, I haven't seen stars since 1992.

Oh this looks beautiful, I was just saying the other night, if I can't emigrate to California I want to live in one of those idyllic English villages where there is always a fete of some kind on and strapping Anglo Saxons walking about in cricket whites.
ReplyDelete...and a great pub with local beer, tonight they are doing a Burns night with whiskey and haggis so you would be perfectly at home
DeleteHaha I love your LV description, I only use my mother's vintage monogram for that same reason, I'm not a fan of the light coloured ones.
ReplyDeleteAnd they scream fake too... although really I just love anything that is conker coloured!
DeleteThe English always think that NZ is beautiful but this Kiwi is just so blown away by the beautiful English countryside. LOl! I'm slowly getting used to the LV logo again. I like the leather trim dark and used too.
