…From the diary.
Tuesday 8th May 2012.
“We wake in the morning with the sun shining ..finally! What did we expect!
Our plan is to drive to Burford, a 16 kilometre trip from Bibury where we are staying.
As we were driving we come behind a truck “Aardvark Installations”. If you ever want one, now you know where to get them – including installation!
Great coffee shops in England. We normally have a continental breakfast, and then afternoon tea as the meals are huge, and economical timewise as well.
Cakes are delicious, and they provide a huge teapot, so perfect for thirsty travellers. John decides for Swiss ice-cream!
Burford is a magical place to be.
From Burford we travel to a village called Church Enstone in Chipping Norton. Thatched houses everywhere.
On the corner of Bicester Road there is a sign saying “The Crown” Enstone Church, and just behind this sign is the lovely thatched cottage with a beautiful English Country Garden.
Such a lovely place to be. Soothing to the soul.
We travelled to five other villages before heading home at 5.46pm!
The sun rises at 3am, and sets at 10.30pm, so a rather long day for photographers, and wearily we head back to our B&B in Bibury ready to hit the sack, however a special treasure looking out the kitchen window was a cute squirrel scampering up the tree.
What a lovely day to head off into dreamland”.
John has won 122 International art awards and his paintings are excellent investments.
