A-Dash-Through-The-Cotswolds

How about some pics of our visit to The Cotswolds with Nana & Pop? It was not so much a visit as a drive-through on our way back from our weekend in Gloucester. The Cotswolds is a fairly large area in central England renowned for both its abundance of stone architecture and plethora of dashes in the names of towns and villages.

Why Gloucester I heard someone whisper? Its the nearest place to Cardiff with a vacant room on any given weekend when the Wobblies play the Welsh. Keezee and Pop ducked down to Cardiff on the Saturday to catch the game. Hopefully I can track down our RWC Cardiff pics from Pop's collection (he had the camera) because it was great fun, but that's all for another post.


First stop: Stow-on-the-Wold


It was a chilly day. Too chilly to smile in the shade.


The girls enjoyed the shopping at Stow-..., but what's with the matching shades?


Keezee makes a statement - Sassi indeed in his hoodie.


Next up: The amusingly named hamlet of Lower Slaughter.


The stream at Lower Slaughter runs down from nearby Upper Slaughter (I'm guessing).


Some Lower Slaughter architecture. Photo taken from our new car.


Aforementioned new car parked besides the stream in Lower Slaughter - check out the sardines!


And finally: the ridiculously pretty town of Bourton-on-the-Water

But seriously, it's a beautiful place. We hope you enjoy the pics.
