The Cotswolds

So, we moved from Devon on Tuesday morning (Mum wasn't sad to see the back of the really narrow roads) and arrived at our new site near Burford later in the day.  We have been here before - we stayed here last year for a full week, but this time it was just for a few days.  I remember being here because the site is across the road from the Cotswold Wildlife Park and you can hear the lions and monkeys making loads of noise in a morning.

On Wednesday we went for a lovely walk on the Sherborne Estate which is just a few miles away from the site.

In the afternoon we went to Minster Lovell which is a ruin of a house built alongside the river Windrush.  It was all very pretty.

On Thursday morning Mum and Dad went to a falconry centre and watched some of the birds flying.

Thumper is an Eagle Owl - here he is sitting on the end of bench quite close to Mum.

Scruffy is a Gyr Falcon

In the afternoon we went for a walk around the Batsford Arboretum which was next door to the falconry centre and a lovely peaceful place for a stroll.
