Toni Townsend
/The True Quality Of Rural Charm
Yes, very well, sit up and pay attention.
The true quality of rural charm lies in the absence of man-made pot-pourri like office blocks and bags of cement. Horses are all right, they fit in fine. So does grass. It's also pretty authentic if there are trees around and a bit of honeysuckle in the hedge adds a quality very true indeed.
A man in a car is out. So is a petrol lorry.
But TONI TOWNSEND is in. This lovely Hampshire housewife is corkingly rural because her charm is natural and unspoiled. Before she became a housewife Toni worked as an advertising assistant, and there was glass and concrete all round her.
Now she lives in the country and goes with the trees, the hedges, and the honeysuckle. Sort of lovely, like.
