My Dream Home
I would love to live in a little stone farmhouse, complete with lush, rolling fields.
With a warm fireplace, big bowls of fruit on a wooden table, and windowsills full of clay pots of flowers.
Look! It’s my bowl.
Where we can sit outside on a blanket, under a tree, surrounded by flowers, eating a picnic.
In a small village with a summer fete.
Where children can run and play safely, there’s a gorgeous church down the lane and maybe even a few cows on the lawn.
Where you can buy fruits, veg, bread, pastries, flowers, even fabric at the market.
Where everywhere I look there are green rolling fields, stone walls and bridges, and sweet animals.
Well, a girl can dream, can’t she?
