This is the view currently from The Presbytery at Withermarsh Green. Across the valley you can see where the river Stour has flooded onto the fields and it now looks similar to a Loch rather than green fields. It all looks very pretty though. I have made a conscious decision and decided that the weather is definitely female.Only a female could change her mind so much :) In the course of 5 days we seem to have experienced all types of weather apart from snow, although it is still early days yet. The changes in the weather are not stopping our guests from exploring the area and we have many footpaths which meander across this area of outstanding natural beauty known as Constable Country. Constable Country is located on the Suffolk and Essex border. This enchanting part of England was the birthplace of renowned artist John Constable and has become very popular with visitors. Villages in the area include East Bergholt, Stratford St. Mary, Bentley, Caple st Mary, Dedham, Lawford, Langham and Flatford. John Constable was an English Romantic painter and he is known primarily for his landscape paintings of Dedham Vale. If you are interested in a tour of Constable Country, see Constables studio, viewpoints, visit Willy Lotts Cottage, Flatford Mill, visitor centre, craft centre or Munnings Museum, go to www.constablecountry.co.uk
