What is it about the English countryside — why is the beauty so much more than visual? Why does it touch one so?

I would absolutely LOVE to be put in a Jane Austen novel, even if it was for a day. I adore her stories and I love when there are adaptations of it put on screen. So to find out they were doing a 4 part series on BBC for Emma, I got really excited. I had never really read this story but saw bits and pieces of the movie with Gwenyth Paltrow. I've got to say I really enjoyed this remake and it was really cute. Romola Garai and Jonny Lee Miller were EXCELLENT and Michael Gambon as Emma's father was great. So here are a few moments from the last part.

I found the perfect story to tide me over after coming back from Europe. It's called I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith who also wrote The One Hundred and One Dalmations. The story is about the Mortmain family who live in a decaying castle in the English countryside. Romance comes into play when an American family buys an estate nearby. It's about first loves and the aching it causes on the heart. It's so romantic and I can relate. I was kind-of torn on watching the movie adaptation of it because they often leave out loads of things, but this one is absolutely amazing. It has literally every part of the book put in the movie, and gets everything right. I highly recommend reading the book first and then watching the movie. So here is a picspam. (I love being a romantic, haha.)
