At Blockley

First Breakfast 7.30 - 11 am for Julie and Michael

Greg Writing: Well we’ve been here three days and I can already see that holidays take up all your time. I’m not sure how much blogging we’ll get done but we’ll try to do some along the way, and show you a few pics.

Hidcote Manor Gardens

So far everything has gone well. Tren and Colin got frisked at Perth airport, but the flights on Cathay Pacific were good (relatively speaking).
We are currently staying in the Cotswolds, in the town of Blockley in an old terrace cottage.
So far we have eaten in a pub near the airport which served to confirm all our views on pommy food; collected the hire van – very roomy considering we have 7 in it; experienced British motorways – very effective; tiny country lanes – quite scary; been to Chedworth Roman Villa – very interesting; Bath – very exhausting; Warwick Castle – impressive, but even more tiring; Hidcote Manor Garden - very beautiful; a Blockley pub meal that dispelled all our views on pommy food – quite nice; and Sainsburys – great range of products and prices quite similar to Australia.

Oxford Rotunda

I hope you enjoy reading this blog and that we get a few opportunities to actually do some entries. Off to another pub meal tonight – Tueday night is steak special night – roll on the mad cow disease.

Perhaps the free apples at Hidcote weren't such a good idea!
