My friends country cottage

Two weeks ago I spent three days staying with a friend of mine. She lives in a picture postcard country cottage with white walls and apples trees in the garden. 

Her cottage lies between Forfar and Kirriemuir and is literally on the doorstep to the Glens. 

It’s a beautiful part of the country; at the rear of her garden the land is full of farmer’s fields and newly stacked hay bales. Looking in the opposite direction and across the road you see the hills in the distance where the setting sun dips beneath the horizon.
Wee drove a short way from her house and stopped to admire the view, we both did a little drawing and painting. 

From her you could see the hillside covered in different coloured fields. It looked like a patchwork of different autumn colours.
