​It had got to the point where I could no longer handle the sticky, sweaty heat of London, so last week, Alex and I decided to venture into the country lanes of Suffolk for a mid-week mini break. My aunt owns a cottage in the tiny village of Hinderclay, and it is always so nice to go there for a quick reboot. It was everything I needed, quiet, relaxing - I ended up sleeping much more than I expected! The one downside? It ended up being just as hot as London, which wasn't the best considering we were hoping to get away from the intense heat. We drove to the small town of Diss in Norfolk on the Friday morning and still didn't manage to escape the humidity. Luckily, the clean air and relaxed attitude of the country did rub off on us. I love going on long country walks, so on the Friday evening when the weather cooled down, we went for a lovely stroll through the fields around the village. It was really soothing, and the feeling of a gentle breeze lapping through your sleeves is the epitome of a Summer stroll for me. We also ventured to my favourite country restaurant, the Leaping Hare at Wyken Vineyards. I always make a point of going there first as it's on the way to the house. If you do ever find yourself there, I highly recommend having the homemade fishcake for lunch, and then the brownie for after. Wyken vineyards is also a great place to take a stroll - I would strongly suggest you wander through the maze too, and then head into the shop afterwards for some homemade Suffolk chocolates, or a browse through their selection of books and homeware.
