Another day done and dusted. We left the grand country manor at Morton Paddox and said goodbye to Andy and Nicola (and their fabulous swimming pool) and headed off towards the Cotswolds for some postcard scenery. Even in 3 degrees and rain, this is my favourite place in all of England, and if you ever make it to this part of the world – definately add it to your list of must dos!
First stop was Morton-in-Marsh, mainly for a quick stop at The Cotswold Cheese Company as it is owned by Matt’s cousin John and his wife Lisa. We housed their son Tom for a few months when he arrived in NZ so we figure we can have a lifetime supply of cheese 🤣
Next was a quick visit to Bourton-on-the-Water for its beautiful canals and stonework, then onto Stow-on-the-Wold for fish and chips at the Porch House which is England’s oldest inn circa 947 AD! Now that’s history for ya!
Our last stop for the evening is with Aunty Fran in Coventry. Another lovely family dinner catching up with relatives, Ian (Matt’s cousin) and his wife Evgenia and their son Alex.
Tomorrow brings more Medieval exploring and hopefully some warmer weather.
