Our days were filled with reading by the fire at our hotel, the Lygon Arms (parts of which were built in 1532), running down the winding country roads (and up the hills unfortunately) to admire the changing leaves and furry sheep, trying to teach ourselves the rules of rugby in a local pub, and eating in a number of great restaurants that all prepared fresh, local cuisine. My favorite was Juliana's... the well-known spot in neighboring Chipping Campden with a highly regarded chef, but lunch today at a gastro pub called The Swan was pretty tasty as well.
As you can tell, it was a pretty relaxed weekend, which is just what the doctor ordered. Back to work tomorrow, but hoping to keep a little of the laid-back country weekend with me as I head into the week.

Beautiful produce at the local Broadway deli where we had breakfast
Carrots anyone?

Wow! I loved the picture of Ric by the Lygon Arms sign - I'm so glad you had such a good visit. It all sounds so relaxing. I can't think of anything better than escaping to "the Cotswolds!"
Thanks again for making it possible! We're just glad we discovered that place four years ago and were able to go back. It's just a gorgeous and quaint as you remember!
