Shropshire Blue Remembered Hills Tea Towel

As he gazed from a hill in Shropshire, A.E Housman once wrote:

‘Into my heart an air that kills 

  From yon far country blows: 

What are those blue remembered hills, 

  What spires, what farms are those? 

That is the land of lost content,

  I see it shining plain, 

The happy highways where I went 

  And cannot come again.’

The collection of poems, entitled ‘A Shropshire Lad’ captures Housman’s admiration for the untouched, and, in his eyes, unspoiled landscapes of the English midlands. A place where the sky reflects the endless rolling hills causing the horizon to bleed a shimmering blue. A place where village church spires, fields ‘a’ fallow, and towering trees make up the only breaks across the landscape. This design is a celebration of that sight, and that feeling. Being surrounded by luscious green countryside as far as the eye can see is a quintessentially British phenomenon and one that Housman evoked in these lines.

With this tea towel you can now bring a glimpse of British countryside into your home as well.
