  • England - Part I

    I am in England now, and finally have time and an internet connection to catch up a bit. We arrived on Monday, about an hour late, but that was not too bad. After doing passport inspection and collecting our bags, we headed off in a rental car to a little village called Broadway in the Cotswold area of the UK.

    I love this area, it is so pretty: pastures, sheep, trees and everything is in bloom right now. We stayed in an inn that we have been in before and used the time to meet up with some of Joe's old friends. On our second day, we drove into Stratford Upon Avon and had dinner at an Indian place and then went and saw The Merchant of Venice, performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company. We had wonderful seats and their acting skills are just fantastic!

    So here are some pictures and I hope to post some more tomorrow.

    Apparently even the midmorning bird catches the worm here

    We had tea with our friends Mik and Jim at this little shop down the road from the inn. Mik and Jim live in Broadway, but are American by birth.

  • OOOhhhhh...drool!  It sounds like you are having a good time. The pictures are wonderful.

  • What a charming inn.  The flowers are so beautiful.  It brings back memories of my trip to the Uk.  It is just such a civilized place. 

    Hugs, Mom
