I live in North Wales, not in the middle of nowhere but it is in the countryside and the middle of nowhere isn't far away. I've lived here all my life and couldn't imagine myself living anywhere with a lot of hustle and bustle.
01. I live in a relatively small village and although there's a lot of houses here it's so peaceful. It's always quiet and the biggest noise I hear is a tractor rattling over a speed bump.
02. Rolling fields and hills are just a 10 minute walk away so it's easy to take a break. I sometimes enjoy a walk to the middle of nowhere on my own. Just me & the countryside is the perfect way to de-stress.
03. You get forced to be creative. As we aren't surrounded by shops and places to visit we get forced to improvise. I love this aspect of life as it makes you do things you wouldn't usually. It's brought along new hobbies for me and keeps me feeling productive!
04. The views are breathtaking & something that I'll never get bored of. There's rolling hills and green fields for miles and on a clear day it's simply beautiful. Although the sun doesn't shine often when it does it brings out the beauty in what's around me.
05. Excercise is easy because there's so many places to walk, run, cycle or ride horses. Personally I prefer walking and I enjoy a long walk as often as I can. Fresh air is better than any medication and keeps me feeling healthy phycially and mentally.
06. Best of all, it's all free! Going for a walk or a picnic on a sunny day doesn't cost a penny! Money saving days out are easy, but it does mean whenever we go further afield I hate paying an entry fee for national parks etc (even though it does go to good cause)!
Wow, such beautiful scenery! Living in the countryside doe have it perks, all of which are a whole lot different to living in the city like I do! :)

I live on the coast in California, but I've always imagined living a countryside like this. It sounds peaceful and calming.

It really is!
DeleteLovely post!!
ReplyDeleteWalking on my own in the countryside is my favourite way to relax, too. Our family has a little cottage up in the lake district which is slap bang in the middle of nowhere, but within 20 minutes of both the seaside AND England's highest mountain. So, I can totally relate to that feeling of needing to walk and walk and walk and finding it so good for your physical health AND your mental health :)
I laughed at the not wanting to pay an entrance fee to places...it's SO true!

I love this post! Sometimes I get so sick of living in the countryside but then I stop and take a moment to think of all the positives (as you have stated!) There's just something about the peaceful escape of the countryside that makes it so lovely!
