I’ll never be a city girl. I won’t pretend I’d be happy living on a farm (suburbia seems to be the perfect fit for me!), but the hustle and bustle of city life is just a bit too much for me. London was amazing for the couple of days we were there, but once Matt & I arrived in Surrey and then Stamford, we really felt at home. There’s something so perfect about the British countryside that makes me never ever ever want to leave! We’re currently in Paris but here are a few frames from Stamford- I can’t wait to see how my film turns out from our time there!

This reminds me of Kate Winslet’s home in The Holiday.

Much of the 2005 Pride & Prejudice movie was filmed in Stamford- Burghley House (below) was home to Judy Dench’s character. How gorgeous is this place??

    Abby I am loving all your Europe pictures! And I don’t blame you, from looking at these I wouldn’t want to leave either.

  5. Karen says:

    I have been on those streets three times now and they ever stop delighting me. I’ve been to Burleigh House the same amount of times. Love, love, love Stamford! The picture of our friends are our connection to Stamford. They’ve been here and we’ve been there many times. I’m so happy Matt is enjoying the trip, too! Mom

    Sigh… be still my heart. It is taking everything I have not to buy a plane ticket for a trip back to England. Your photos are positively brilliant Abby!

  7. Megan S. says:

    These are beautiful pictures Abby! 🙂

    If you’re still looking for hidden gems in Paris, you have to go to Shakespeare & Company… it’s a bookshop on the Left Bank opposite Notre Dame. You’d love it! http://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/index.php?categories=113:1

  9. Oh my gosh – this makes me want to travel so badly! That little cottage is so adorable!
