Pause on a country lane and notice how much space there is around you. Fields run to a stone wall, the wall runs to the sea, and the only sound is wind. Then a door opens somewhere, and silence gives way to conversation, music tuning up and a story that takes the long way round.
The climate is mild and oceanic, with few extremes and rain that can arrive on any day, so a jacket always belongs in the bag. Summer evenings stay light late. A Local Friend keeps the plan flexible, so the day can change when the weather or your curiosity does.
