It's morning at the Five Bells, I noticed details I missed last night.... like the three bells on the door for Room 3
We are headed to a house sit today, so the first stop is to a grocery store. As a lot of food tends to be bland, I need hot sauce. The clerk led me to a bottle of hot sauce but warned me, "It’s not actually hot." Ok. Thanks. Moving on.
Driving into the Cotswolds, we stopped when we saw these "pillboxes" in Inkpen. I was curious. Apparently, these are fortified structures from WW2 just sitting by the bridges. They were built hastily when a German invasion in 1940 seemed imminent.
When we arrived, the homeowner was out back scraping moss off the yard. They’ve had so much rain it’s been suffocating the grass. We don't have ground moss like this back in Charlotte, but it felt like a symbol for this whole trip. Basically, you have to clear away the stuff that’s grown over you just so what's hidden can breathe again.
This is home for the next few days, and it's got a piano.Læs mere
