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

Instaspam
I had the foresight to expect Instaspam to turn into just another lousy social media stream selling me to their advertisers. So I kept all my photography here as well.
Blood Pudding
…also, blood pudding?! Yum! #dontAsk

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

Lower Slaughter
Possible the prettiest village in all of England.

Broadway Tower
Originally built as a “folly”, still provides a great view over the Cotswolds.

Hidcote 7
…and a proper tea to finish it off. #pinkiesUp

Hidcote 6
Macro shots of flowers.

Carefully
Very carefully photographing flowers today. :) No filter, no zoom lens, just reeeeally close.

Hidcote 4
It’s obvious why this is in the National Trust. “Plants grow in a jumble, flowering shrubs mingle with roses, climbers scramble over hedges and seedlings come up wherever they choose to sow themselves. That’s how I like to garden.” ~ Lawrence Johnston

Hidcote 3
This place is over the top brilliant.

Hidcote 2
This was originally one man’s personal project circa 1920’s.

Hidcote 1
Perfect cool, sunny morning! We seem to bring fair weather with us…

Hidcote Gardens
First stop, Hidcote Gardens.

Corncroft
Corncroft Guest House in Witney. Home base for the week in a delightfully quiet English town!

Oh this is wrong. So wrong
Wrong side of the car. Wrong side of the road. Is it wrong to sing Yes’ “Roundabout” at every roundabout.

Tower Bridge
One last quick peak at London at night. It’s been a loooooong day!
ɕ
The Ring
Change of plans… Lord Nelson has no food after 5. But one block over… daYAM! I could get used to this.

Stratford High Street
Last night in London. Setting out a stone’s throw from Olympic Park, headed to the Lord Nelson pub in Southwark.
