We should be in Batsford Arboretum but we aren't 'cos it was clogged up with coach parties of Boomers and, worse, Pre-Boomers, all shuffling about and clogging up the cafe. How dare they all come out on a day when we chose to come out! It's an outrage!!
So we have driven a bit further on to Stow-on-the-Wold where there are still plenty of Boomers and Pre-Boomers about but where we can at least get something to eat in relative peace and quiet.
Having eaten we have a stroll around the village and find these olde stocks which, despite having been here loads of times, we have never noticed before.
We only noticed them 'cos a 'tourist' was taking a photo of them as we passed by.
As we were taking this photo a 'local' commented that she had lived in the village for years and had never noticed them either.
Weird, eh?
In front of us, an iconic view over The Cotwolds.
Behind us, one of the busiest road junctions in The Cotswolds, but we wont mention that.
Just ignore the traffic and take a selfie.
On the way home we stop off in Bourton-on-the-Hill which we usually have to drive straight through on account of there being nowhere to park.
Today, there's a place in the pub car park. Yay!
No matter where we go and on whichever day of the week we chose it is always 'bin day'.
Take a photo of this building and it's wonky roof, Dave.
OK Vic.
An almost traffic-free photo of Bourton-on-the-Hill.
Plans for what we would buy if we won The Lottery continue apace.
We'd buy a whole row of Cotswolds cottages!
Bourton-on-the-Hill with the splendid Cotwolds scenery in the distance.
Shame the weather has been so dull but that's Carol's fault not ours.
