The Cotswolds

Last weekend we took another day trip out to the Cotswolds- an area with picturesque villages, green as far as you can see, and grazing sheep... the English countryside. We finally made it! We took the train via Oxford, and in an hour and a half we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere! We explored three of the villages, had a picnic along the river in Bourton-on-the-Water, had cream tea (which we learned is tea, served with a scone, jam and clotted cream- its the clotted cream which makes a cream tea a cream tea) and just relaxed. We felt like we were in a storybook land! The people were so friendly and welcoming. What a nice break from the city!
