Cirencester: Market Day
5 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Today we drove to Cirencester as it was Market Day. Markets are always a bit unpredictable, and I while I love artisan craft markets, I didn't want to drive 30 minutes for a perfect home grown pumpkin. Thankfully Cirencester did not disappoint. A very pretty streetscape, old wonky buildings, lots of lovely shops and a bustling market (and a Church of course!)

My raincoat got a workout again. Some of the markets are outdoors in front of the church. Some of them are indoors in Corn Hall. There were lots of lovely things! I nearly bought a bag made from cork fabric. It feels lovely and is waterproof. It feels like a cross between leather and fabric. I did buy a necklace made from Italian ladder yarn. The trouble with me and craft markets is that I look at all the creations and think "I could make that" or "I'd love to give that a try" and I'm generally too tight with my wallet. The thing is, time is not a limitless commodity and the reality is I'm not going to get around to trying all these things so I should just buy something if I like it. I love textile creations the most.

We also found an impressive antiques shop and Ian found a few treasures. There was a fascinating coin collection in there: Roman coins from Bible times, eg first Jewish revolt in time of Domitian.

St John's church was also interesting to visit (and dry!). This also had a very ornate pipe organ. I really want to hear one of these played! I'd love to be there when someone is practising. They had a fundraising shop at the back and I found a few more Hannah Dunnett items.Leia mais
Viajante The pipe organ is next level in embellishment. That’s a really impressive church. Cork fabric sounds intriguing you are very restrained - I would have bought a bag as well as the necklace. I’m glad you had a good day and the markets had so much more on offer than perfect pumpkins. Are there any organ recital schedules to check out so you could hear them being played?

Highnam and Gloucester
6 de agosto de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
Today began with us streaming into Rugby's memorial meeting. That was good and the speaker had a lovely tenor voice which came through the mic and added to the experience. Their streaming tech was up to Jeremy's standard, unlike last week which was on Zoom with truly terrible music.

We had a quiet lunch at home and then the plan was to visit an Open Garden which was at Highnam Court just down the road. The driveway was easy to find but there was no way to open the gate. Plan B was to go to the neighbouring church as you could walk from the Church carport. Murgatroyd led us to another gate that was only accessible on foot. When exiting onto the main street we could only turn left and found ourselves heading into Gloucester. OK looks like we visit Gloucester first and visit the garden on the way home.

Gloucester is not a lovely city. Some bits felt quite grotty and rough. It was also quite busy today. We had a stroll through an antiques shop as well as Gloucester Cathedral. This isn't my favourite Cathedral. It's a bit gaudy. We didn't stay too long, and Ian was glad we still had hubcaps on our hire car!

Time to give this open garden another crack. Same problem. You would think if someone wants to attract visitors to their place they would put some decent signs up. The driveway we were directed to was correct, but was for the owner, not the public. We tried the church again and this time we were able to find the church carpark and walk over to Highnam Court, although it was now 4:10pm and it closes at 4:30. The ticket people didn't charge us and let us have a quick run around the property.

The gardens were very impressive after all that. Very formal. There was one section called the Knot Garden which looks like the hedges are weaving under and over each other. A pity we didn't have time to relax and enjoy the gardens or the refreshments in the Orangery.

We popped into the church where we had parked. Not huge, but such a pretty one! Everything was so ornate, and the artwork was truly lovely with beautiful Bible quotations.Leia mais

Fantastic day. We meandered, tramped and traipsed around Oxford for a full day.
The history of this place was everywhere we looked. The buildings, footpaths and alleys just oozed old and the languages we heard as we walked, informed us that we shared our day with travellers from all over the world!Leia mais

Nach der heute morgen erfolgten Liebeserklärung an England, sind im Verlauf des Tages Taten gefolgt.

Wir tourten durch die Cotswolds.

Immer den Touristen und Film-Site-Spottern nach. Allerdings, hier einen Ort zu finden, an dem ein Film gedreht wurde, ist nicht schwer, denn alle Dörfer sehen aus wie frisch polierte Kulissen. Und manches mal fragt sich der kritische Reisende, ob das wohl echt ist. Ist es. Ich schwöre!! Wer Downton Abbey kennt, Agatha Raisin, Inspector Barnaby, Bridgerton oder Morse, dem kommt hier manches Haus sehr bekannt vor. (Und wer die Serien nicht kennt, es sind immer die, wo alle mit Handys vorstehen und verzückt Fotos machen.)

Also -sämtliche HotSpots ignorierend-Frühstück in Moreton-on-Marsh, Verzeihung IN Marsh, Lunch in Bourton- on-the-Water und Tee in Burford, wo wir wohnen.

Und an alle Wetterunken… die ganze Zeit offen. Ha!!!

Morgen verlassen wir rural England und fahren nach Oxford. Bericht und Fotos folgen😉Leia mais

There has been a human settlement at Bourton for over 6,000 years! The word 'Bourton' is of Saxon origin, derived from 'burgh' meaning fortification or camp and 'ton' meaning estate, enclosure or village. Taken together, you have 'the village beside the camp'.Leia mais

After the success of last night, we awoke and made our way over to our included breakfast (thanks again for the cmas present!) And enjoyed a full English, with plenty of coffee and toast.

After that, we packed our room, checked out, and punched Gloucester into the GPS. After a few hours we arrived in the centre of the city. We were a few hours early to check into our next accommodation so we explored the city centre for a while. We also made our way over to the gigantic Gloucester Cathedral. We already planned to go over in the evening as they have an event on, but some of it was going to be blocked off, and it was going to be a lot more busy. So while we had the time we went in and explored. The cathedral is huge and absolutely beautiful. We walked around there for over an hour, exploring the cloister, where multiple Harry Potter films have had scenes shot, and upstairs where we got a very good look at the large stained glass windows which was completed in 1350 and at the time was the largest in the world!

Eventually we decided to go check in (and our parking ticket was going to expire...) So we went and drove the short distance to our accommodation.

Once we moved everything in we went and explored the bar and food truck that this roadside hotel has. Lo and behold we ended up with a pint each and some nachos! After eating, we went back to the room and rested for a while before going out into the city again to view the cathedral at night! It was still impressive, and better yet when we got inside there was a choir singing with an organ. We walked around and looked at the Christmas themed stuff and enjoyed the music. Fortunately, since we already did the exploration in the day, we didn't have to fight the crowds. So we left, got a bite to eat, and came back to the hotel!

Visited the final resting place of Jems Mum Edith in the garden where her beloved brother is also laid to rest. She always did want to be back in England and now she is…..Had a lovely lunch with Jems cousins Sarah and Stuart afterwards. Next day Went to the other side of Birmingham to see the Black Country Living Museum which was fantastic. Best museum ever. So fun to see how people lived in that time. Said hello to Tipton and I think the place Mum said goodbye to when they immigrated to Australia in 1956.
Then, drove to the Cotswolds for our last night and day wandering around the pretty old stone villages.

NOW WE ARE AT HEATHROW! Excited to go home. Great trip. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕👏👏👏👏 6 COUNTRIES, plenty history, architecture and general eyeballing! See ya next time Penguin lovers. XxLeia mais
