My last week of travel in the UK was spent walking around the Cotswolds, a very beautiful region complete with small villages, rolling green hills and rose clad cottages.  It is beautiful in a very cultivated way, everything just as it should be.  I took many pretty pictures on my walking, but to prevent boredom I will only post a few here, you should be able to get the idea.

See pretty cottages

The mill at Lower Slaughter.  The name is not as gory as it sounds, it derives from slothre which means muddy place, I know I was a little disappointed too.

Bourton-on-the-water (they all have names like this)

Sudeley Castle, home of Catherine Parr

This is the village of Stanton, if you ignore the cars it looks untouched for hundreds of years.  Apparently it has been used for filming period films.

There were lots of pretty views... 

And more animals than my liking.  I had to walk through far too many fields with sheep, cattle and horses.  The last straw was when I got to a field with a sign reading 'bull in next field'

Walked through some forest too (survived the bull)

And some very serene fields

The week walking was absolutely lovely.  To simply walk from one village to the next with  no demands on your time is true bliss.  A perfect end to my time in England.

Of course now I have the sad business of saying goodbye to Bath (you will always be in my heart), and preparing for the next adventure.  I am abandoning my laptop for my trip around Europe, so no promises for regular updates, but I will try my best to post a few pics.  Hope all is well wherever you are in the world.

I couldn't resist :)
