Madonna has told American Vogue that she has fallen in love with English country life, and says that she sees England as her home now, not the US. She also says she is very different from the overtly sexual image she has portrayed over the years.
On her marriage to Guy Ritchie, she told the magazine: "The last thing I thought I would do is marry some laddish, shooting, pub going nature lover. And the last thing he thought he was going to do was marry some cheeky girl from the Midwest who doesn't take no for an answer. But now I love England and want to be here and not in America. I see England as my home."
She also described how the pair fell in love with their 1,000-acre estate, Ashcombe, on the Wiltshire/Dorset border, and says that she wears sensible shoes around the estate (well, it would only be sensible) whilst taking care of her flock of chickens. She also goes hunting (hang on, isn't that illegal?), fishing and riding. "To me, Ashcombe is a reflection of me and my husband in many ways, because it reflects our willingness to make a commitment." she said.
