Amazing what you can find if you stop and look. Flashlight catches out dozens of snails partying on the rocks next to the bridge.

The Clifton suspension bridge across the Avon (yes, that Avon) River in Bristol England. The lights at the bottom of the photo are traffic on a highway. Cast iron bridge, +100 years old. Really REALLY high. WOW.

An actual Enigma machine, and a “Bombe” reproduction recently built for the movie and given to Bletchley.

Another famous place I’d always wanted to see. Shots from the mansion. ‘The Imitation Game’ was partly filmed here too.

The Bell altar at Christs Church cathedral. “No nation, no church, no individual is guiltless. Without repentance and without forgiveness there can be no regeneration.” ~ George Bell

Dinner included sunset on the Kingsbridge Inn’s patio. We’re practically the last tourists in town. Next: drive home in the dark. D^8

Bourton on the Water

Kingsbridge Inn in Bourton-on-the-Water. A lot of the countryside here looks exactly like Pennsylvania… so much in England to love. (Driving on the left, not so much. But the way the traffic ‘works’ here is SO much better than in the states!) #roundaboutConvert
