8 things all country girls know to be true

Country Girl Rules

If you’re a townie, you can probably smell the difference between your local coffee shops or smell the fresh sea air from your front door but when you’re a country girl and you live in the countryside, you learn to differentiate the smells of which manure the local farmers are spreading on their fields (Pig poo is the worst!) and you think going to a country fair is the highlight of your weekend.

If you think a Barbour jacket is a necessity not a fashion accessory, read on. I found myself nodding at quite a lot of these!

Joules design a welly competition

 

design competition lock up-01Now it is incredibly rare that you will see me posting about competition entries

but when one lands in my mailbox to design my very own pair of Joules wellys that will be available to buy, who am I to turn that down?

Long term readers will know I’m a country girl and most weekends you can find me, Paul and even my Mam knee deep in mud in a field somewhere. We certainly do know the true value of a good pair of wellies.

Autumn chic with Joe Browns

Joe Browns

I’m done with “summer” now and well ready for autumn. I say summer in quotes as it has been quite a grim one this year.

This gorgeous tartan blazer is £80 from Joe Browns at Simply Be and I am in love. I’d remove the button brooch and replace it with something more me, but the jacket is beautiful.

Every autumn I embrace the country heritage trend as it fits so well with our lifestyle and this just has my name all over it!
