Our final leg of the journey was brought us through the
Cotswold to see Gemma’s friends Elaine, Simon, and their lovely daughter. We
spent a day in Bourton on the Water, where Elaine and Simon live. Bourton is
the ‘Venice of the Cotswold’ because of the pretty little river merrily
bubbling through the town and is largely accepted as being the quaintest, cutest,
and premier destination village in the Cotswold.
The pub on the Hill
This is no mean feat as the
Cotswold is known for being the cutest and quaintest destination in England.
After some beers, ice cream, and sneaky paddle in the river Gemma and I moved
on to our hotel high on the hills just outside the village of Cleeve Hill overlooking
the surrounding countryside.
The next day, our final day before returning to work we
drive home via Stratford upon Avon to visit the birthplace and final resting
place of the Bard.
The Swan Theatre
We wandered along the banks of the River Avon and paid our
respects at the Holy Trinity Church before poking our noses through the Old
Town to photograph Shakespeare’s birthplace.
Shakesspeare's birthplace
Our Easter trip done, we wistfully turned our backs on the
sunshine and returned home. Time now to install a bathroom,
building a cocktail bar, decorate our pool room, and finally complete my damn
gaming cabinet (although with a pool room I don’t really have anywhere to
project it).
