Rural Country Colors

 I am in England at the moment, for a visit home to see some of whats new in the UK. I am currently in Alresford, a charming and beautiful Georgian town that is centuries old. The rural country trend is becoming a major statement in fashion, including Barbours and wellies of every color and style. But what I realise most is how color, for a very grey climate, is used so much in the UK.  Lovely house fronts are painted rich creamy yellows - always with a contrasting front door, maybe in an airforce blue or cheery postbox red. Every house has bright, colorful hanging baskets of flowers, depending on the season, spilling over with glory.  For colors such as these and what can be seen in Alresford (link with more images below), visit A. Allbright and see what appeals to you.
