Step outside to hear the dawn chorus of bird song. Sit and enjoy a drink on the pretty patio to the front of the house. Then, in the evening, see the silvery moon and stars between the branches of the chestnut tree whose canopy reaches out towards the cottage. Take a moment just to breathe and smell the sweet scent of flowers on the evening air. Just bliss... The photographs of bluebell woods, poppy fields, and swathes of rosebay willow herb etc are all taken, up Bredon Hill, within a 45 mins walk away.
