   Yes Alek, they do look like rural bliss. I could park myself by the fire and be very happy.

   When I lived in the UK, places like these were my regular surroundings as I sipped hot brandies. Lovely and cosy. I can well believe that they may own more than one teapot, but I bet that’s the same red Roberts radio they moved from the bathroom to the bedroom for the shoot…

   They look wonderful – and so clean! We went to Blenheim Palace again yesterday and the village of Woodstock is full of places like those… very posh indeed!

   Perfectly English without the stuffiness and the chintz. Totally refreshing…definitely rural bliss at it’s best!

    If I had to do ‘rural’ this would definitely be the way to go…but of course, I would need a lot more champagne!

    Well, you’re in my neck of the woods now and thanks for loving me (as in the British !!!!) Of course, there is a pub, just like the ones shown, in most cities, towns and villages throughout Britain but, unforunately, many are closing down, due to the recession ec. Not all of them are as beautiful as these two that you have shown, Alek. Thanks for showing a litle bit of Britain. XXXX

    Guess who stayed at the Crown? Hugh Grant in “Four Weddings and a Funeral”, … and The Guy last month. Gorgeous.

    OH my, this is perfect. One of my favorite memories of my time spent in England was driving around the tree-covered lanes until we found a hidden pub in the middle of nowhere. Really, it was amazing inside. The Crown looks likes a place I would have loved..
