THE JOY OF...A rural idyll

This month, our columnist Joy Moyler extols the virtues of living - and working - in the countryside

AHH, the smell of freshly cut grass. Gazing out into the meadow. Sun on your face, the fresh scent of farm animals. Yes, even farm animals can bring well… true joy!

Without a doubt, I am a city girl, having grown up in the concrete jungle of New York. A term I use quite affectionately. But there’s just something about that country escape and all the feels it brings. I feel blessed to have grown up with a mind open to experiencing different environments in life.

My appreciation for having my fingers in country garden dirt is just as enriching as having my hands full of a hot chopped cheese sandwich from my favourite New York City delicatessen. The truth is, it’s all about your mindset.
