Amanda Brooks: A City Girl in the Country has a New Book and a New Shop



A city girl in the country was only for one year, so Amanda Brooks thought when she moved her family to her husband's family farm in 2012 but happily it has become a way of life; one that is focused, peaceful, inspiring with the unexpected satisfaction of slowing down and enjoying each season.   She wrote a delightful book chronicling her new found life that premiered this past June, Farm From Home - A Year of Stories, Pictures and Recipes from a City Girl in the Country.   And if that wasn't enough, she opened what could only be described as the most perfect English shop, Cutter Brooks which is located of course in the most charming of places, the Cotswolds.   She also has plans to open a cafe in back...

A Book Store - A wonderful start for a Wednesday





The morning is soft with a lovely breeze, and a Trenta Black Iced Tea - Lemonade no sugar is in my hand.  I have the desire to hunker in a really good bookstore for several hours.  The one in my head is from @jo_rogers a delightful, engaging Instagram that is a wonderful read.  Do you ever have those extravagant ideas in your mind?  I do.  Buying a plane ticket to London just to go to @johnsandoebooks seems entirely providential, and somehow worth it.  But certainly not in the budget.  Instead, I will continue on with In a French Kitchen by Susan Herrmann Loomis and choose from her delicious recipes something to make for dinner.  I do have a French market basket from @thecooksatelier to carry it all home in, which does seem like a mini trip - and will happily re-read many of Jo's posts once again.  
A wonderful start for a Wednesday.
