Cotswolds

Hired a car which Andrew picked up from Heathrow.
Drove to Burford where we were staying on Friday night staying in a typical B&B, where the windows and doors were wonky. Dinner at a local restaurant where the people were so friendly it felt like we were in a different country!

Next day we had breakfast in our room, yummy muesli and cooked breakfast. Then we set off for a drive, I had found a scenic drive named the Romantic Rd which takes you on a loop through the Cotswolds.

My favourite place for the day I think was the Slaughters but the whole area is just very quintessientially English and quiant.

On Sunday we were driving home but took the long way by driving through some more of the Cotswolds. Stopped in Cirencester for lunch but being a Sunday the town was very quiet. We decided to drive to see the Uffington White Horse on the way, and stopped and walked up to it. The Uffington White Horse is a stylised chalk drawing of a horse on the side of a hill.

We eventually made it home after a long day of driving by Andrew.
