Margaret and I headed up to the Cotswolds for the day. We trained to Moreton-in-Marsh, bused to Stow-on-the-Wold, and then hiked 6 miles through Lower and Upper Slaughter back to Stow-on-the-Wold. Beautiful English countryside.
 |
| Fleece Alley in Stow. They also have Sheep Street. |
 |
| Flowers. |
 |
| Gritty Tulips. |
 |
| Butterfly! And excellent blowing grass. |
 |
| Short trek through the woods. |
 |
| Past a riding school. |
 |
| Heading to Lower Slaughter. |
 |
| We took a detour to visit some horses. |
 |
| One of whom took a liking to Margaret. Or perhaps just the food in her backpack. |
 |
| Or perhaps just her hair. |
 |
| I see you. |
 |
| Little nibbles. |
 |
| Following the public footpath. |
 |
| Lower Slaughter. Quaint little town. All stone houses. |
 |
| There's a really old mill. And next door you can get homemade ice cream. Delicious. |
 |
| What's that peeking around the tree?? A lamb!! |
 |
| Another lamb! |
 |
| A resting lamb. Who didn't like me. |
 |
| So she went and nuzzled her mummy. |
 |
| You know you're in England when... |
 |
| Turned the corner and....were accosted by a group of runaway sheep. |
 |
| More lambs! |
 |
| The path took us through a cow pasture. |
 |
| Hey there. Don't mind us... |
 |
| And past some more horses in their stalls. |
Classic, beautiful English countryside...I particularly like the photo of the sheep who have taken over the street!
