More about this scene

This is a classic English village setting, with rows of cottages overlooking a green and an old red telephone box. The old black and white signpost points to nearby Watling Street, one of Britain's most famous Roman roads and now the A5. The M1 is also close by, though it had not been built when this photograph was taken.

This was the first house my husband and I bought together - we got married in it, and had our first daughter there. We stayed until 2002 - a gorgeous cottage, which we sadly outgrew.
