In the country

People who live in large towns often like to leave the place where they live at weekends or in the summer, and enjoy calm and tranquillity of the country. Some people just like to relax and do nothing and occasionally go for a slow casual walk; while others enjoy long walks across hills and valleys. And the countryside is a great place for eating a prepared meal of cold food outside.
