Although those lanes are gorgeous I found them terrifying to drive on - although I do acknowledge that that is only because I am not used to them, the terror would probably wear off fairly quickly LOL. But aren't we so lucky to live in the most beautiful country in the world?? I love England so much and feel blessed to be surround by an ancient and stunning landscape. What an amazing country!<br /><br />X Shirley<br />PS. The Cotswolds are just beautiful. I remember driving through many years ago and just having my breath taken away by the beauty.Shirley-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678506786099888928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-39128007186475887632015-07-13T22:33:01.860+01:002015-07-13T22:33:01.860+01:00Stay tuned for that one Monica!

Oh how synchronic for me, and so comforting and uplifting right when I needed it. We would LOVE to move to Devon, and we are looking for a house in those teeny tiny villages with teeny tiny country lanes! :) Fun to read your perspective about them, you made me smile as those are the lanes where I purposefully drive over here in the Cotswolds (there are many!). We are all so different... I find this beautiful.<br />Now I'm going to explore your blog a little more, and I will certainly be back as I want to know everything about Devon!!<br />Thank you for this post, it made me happy.<br />MonicaMonicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11541697451249535177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-48280529395485438392015-07-01T15:56:11.764+01:002015-07-01T15:56:11.764+01:00I was just saying to a friend of mine today that I...I was just saying to a friend of mine today that I am sure one would get very used to driving those lanes if you were doing it all the time. But oh-my-goodness! It was hair raising for a country-lane virgin lol. Can't help but admire the beauty of Devon though - most gorgeous county! So quintessentially English.Shirley-Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678506786099888928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795037737024485874.post-21012482103149183702015-07-01T14:15:44.964+01:002015-07-01T14:15:44.964+01:00As a Devonian I couldn't help chuckling whilst...As a Devonian I couldn't help chuckling whilst reading your perspectives on our tiny country lanes! I learned to drive in those lanes so I am used to them, but the idea of motorway or city driving is terrifying!

You are right, it is amazing how these things happen sometimes isn't it, as if it were all meant to be, tied together somehow just waiting for us to come along and pretend that we did it all by ourselves!
