Many years ago when we lived in London, we would often throw the kids in the car and take them out into the countryside to visit an old ruin or two. There are many in Britain to visit and it was an excuse to show our children that there is another way of living other than city life.
Living in a city has many advantages but can be a little claustrophobic at times and so to get out into the wide open spaces of the countryside is something that many people enjoy. Including us.
As our children got older, we traveled farther and into the depths of America, Europe and Africa. Today my children continue to travel and now do the same with their children. Travel to me is the very best education anyone can receive.
I like to get lost and then find my way home and when you are driving on country roads as pretty as this. Then it is a real pleasure.
Have a #SublimeSunday folks. This tag was instigated by fellow Brit @c0ff33a check it out.

How do you mean "Living in a city has many advantages but can be a little claustrophobic at times"

Want to have your post on the map too?
I often visit countryside there is a magical beauty of it that you can not find in polluted city. Anyway thanks for sharing these wonderful photo.
Thank you and yes there is something very special about seeing all that space and wide open landscapes. It is good for the soul. I live in the countryside now and just love it.
wow its really nice photography and yes it is very good that you show your children about how life is in other sides!!
great thinking

We must teach our children well if they are to grow up with a better understanding of the world around them. I agree @janemorane
Road trips are the best. I haven't been on for years. Love those shots of the road:)
Simple pleasures are the best and getting out into the countryside leaves good memories for all.
I love getting lost and finding my way back to. May very favourite thing to do is to look on a map and follow roads that end at the sea. We've found some amazing spots that way that aren't sign-posted and so are much quieter than the usual places. Lovely! 😊
Exactly my point. We have found amazing places that the locals never knew existed because they rarely explore their own country let alone farther afield. It's the best way to find new things by just getting lost with no maps or GPS. tip!
Thank you for the tip @molometer! 😊 Wishing you a fun day!

And Sunday is a great day to do so. I remember many a trip with my siblings wrestling in the backseat as we explored the countryside.
Love your pictures of the bright blue sky and open country.

Haha i had forgotten the sibling wrestling part? Probably on purpose. :) We invested in a very large MPV so the kids were spread out in three rows of seats haha fun times. tip!
You’re right… Sometimes, you just crave those wide open spaces.
The word expansive comes to mind. :) tip!
Thanks so much for the tip!
You are welcome. :)

Hi Craig, good to see you here. My YouTube views have gone through the roof since I cut down posting to once a week? :)
I agree with pretty much everything you said in here.
I too love it! @molometer I like the way you linked your photos.
Getting out of town driving and relaxing is the way to go.
resteemed!! Maybe next weekend we will get some time out of town.
Can't beat a spin in the countryside. Fresh air is a good way to clear away the cobwebs of the mind.
wonderful story to your great pictures :D bend a head , yeahh we gooot that covered LOL soo do like how your framed the country side one, it also gave me a ' think' as i often drive but i kind of just drive, never actually look on how roads can be great objects to take pics on, Thanks :D :D

The road goes ever on and on, to quote Gandalf and are perfect for a clear perspective :)

I am not sure if John Denver was big in England, but he was here and is missed.
Yes sublime Sunday is a perfect catch all for whatever you have on hand to post... You Brits need to stick together lol
John Denver was a big hit over here too. Great songs. Glad you got the metaphorical bend in the road ahead lol
All of the photos turned out great for such different reasons. Thanks for sharing them. 🐓🐓
