“For me it’s the breathtaking skies” my answer is always the same when asked,  “and what brought a Southern girl to the Lincolnshire Wolds”  These giant skies, the backdrop of this gentle, graceful green vista, is for me, the stunning beauty of this enchanting part of  England.

I had for some time previously lived in an Oasis town in the  Middle East and had become accustomed to the large skies of the desert and had embraced the wonder of such open spaces. So it was with delight, on one warm July day that I came across the charms of  the Lincolnshire Wolds, and this place with it’s immediate sense of tranquillity stayed in my memory and heart and  drew me years later to my home, in a lovely village which nestles in a valley, alongside  the River Bain.

My home overlooks pastures  amongst these peaceful farmlands and although now through trouble times – my husband is terminally ill with Multiple Myeloma see http://www.susiehemingway.blogspot.com  – I have at last found the tranquillity I craved.

I shall write of my life in this charming English Village and of the joy and sometimes pain each day brings.  I am a Country Lady now and I shall remain so.
