Hi John,
We know that spending time in the countryside is special to us all, it brings people and nature together.
But it's about more than being outdoors in nature. Our countryside gives us community and belonging.
Whatever our age, background or beliefs, we all have a right to the benefits that the countryside brings.
We want to celebrate the stories and and experiences that help shape it – including yours!
We want to see what a week in the countryside looks like to you.
Will you send us a few snapshot videos of your week in the countryside on WhatsApp? Click the button below to share your snapshots.
If you don't use WhatsApp, you can still share your story. Feel free to send your moments in the countryside to us via text message or Signal at the same number, 07985 321 044.
Maybe it’s a special spot on your weekend walk, or your child’s face when they find their favourite bug in the hedgerows.
It could be watching a pint being poured at your local, or waving hello to your neighbour in your local green space.
Whatever makes the countryside special to you, we’d love to see it.
Just take a few short videos on your phone over the coming days which showcase your love of the countryside and send them our way on WhatsApp!
We’ll celebrate our rural stories by putting all our moments together and sharing them on social media.
We want to see what it truly means to access the countryside, so feel free to capture what's important to you. You can submit as many recordings are you'd like or just the one.
We take pride in caring for the countryside, and we thank you for choosing to be a part of it.
Best wishes,
Calum
