Shoots #126: TGI Friday!
Start of what’s hopefully going to be a long relaxing weekend…
Shoots #94: Bye Bye Sunshine!
Weather has turned and the sun has gone… Hopefully only until the weekend otherwise camping and canoeing in Hay-on-Wye won’t be much fun!
Shoots #83: Massive Bed!
Lovely weekend away in a 4 star hotel - biggest bed I’ve ever seen!
Cotswolds - Day 1 & 2
As promised I’ve finally uploaded the photos from my weekend away in the Cotswolds (22nd - 24th Jan).
We arrived Saturday afternoon and checked in to our B&B (1) - a lovely little pub in the village of South Cerney, UK. We settled in, unpacked and headed out for a drive in the country. The Cotswolds is a lovely part of the UK with lots of quintessentially English villages/towns and stunning views.
In the evening we went to a little gastro pub called “The Crown of Crucis” and had a lovely meal - a great way to unwind for the weekend. The pub had some funky light fixtures (2) that cast really interesting shadows, definitely worth a snap.
Sunday we headed to the Cotswolds water park and went for a walk around one of the 140 lakes. The lake had a man-made beach (3, 4) which I can imagine in summer is a great place to relax and do some water sports.
Scattered among the water park are some lovely holiday homes. After some research I discovered that you can rent the holiday homes at a reasonable rate so I’m hoping to organise a trip later in the year with friends.
In the afternoon we headed into Cirencester, UK and pottered around the town. Cirencester is such a lovely little market town known for it’s wool industries (5) and has lots of quaint shops, cafes, restaurants and a stunning cathedral (6).
In the evening we relaxed and had a wonderful meal at The Old Boathouse - a lovely end to a lovely day!
Day 3 - Road Trip (Part 1)…
Cotswolds - Day 3 (Part 1)
On Monday we checked out of our B&B and said goodbye to South Cerney. Instead of heading straight home and cutting our break short we decided to do a mini road trip.
First we headed to a lovely little village called Bibury, UK. Bibury has a river flowing straight through the village and a Trout farm with immaculate landscaping (1 - 4) that’s open to the public for fishing, demonstrations or simply a walk around the grounds.
A little walk down a country lane we came across an impressive hotel (5, 6). The UK has so many hidden treasures, sometimes its worth parking up and just going for a walk.
