A Hankering for the Old Country

Wednesday 15 October 2014

I am happy to say that I have had very few moments of severe homesickness (for London that is, I still get homesick for my original African home). Sunny, warm days and living opposite the beach might have something to do with this. But every now and then, I find my mind straying to a snug, low ceilinged pub with a crackling fire, or a sleepy stone town in the Cotswolds, or our teeny tiny house in our little close and it’s there, a pang of homesickness to rival none other. I’m indulging that feeling today by posting about The Wild Rabbit – a beautiful traditional pub and hotel located on Oxfordshire, just a mere two hours outside of London. I’ll let the pictures do the talking but needless to say, it has me missing things.

  1. That place is darling. I'm off to London in a week for a few days and I'll report back on the dreadfully blustery and wet weather, I'm sure. Trade you!

  2. This looks like the perfect retreat to relax and enjoy a weekend of eating, walking and reading. We can just imagine having a cup of tea on that beautiful terrace and enjoying the country air!

  3. I've been browsing a lot of Nordic sites lately and this place somehow has the feel of both. I'm not sure I can explain it. It's decidedly English to me, but with hints of that minimal, bright and light Nordic style. So of course I'm in love. :)
