We were heading to The Cotswolds  today and thought we had a 3 hour drive but it turned into 5 due to traffic. We didn’t book our accommodation early enough so there was nothing left online in our price range. We thought we would take a chance and see if we could get something there. Mum rang the tourist information centre and they do a booking service. They managed to find a place that is usually more expensive but because they had no one in that night they gave it to us for a cheaper price! I think it’s our best place yet! It’s a two story cottage with two bath rooms, three bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a  little courtyard out the back. And a washing machine!!!  On the way we went to Stratford upon Avon and saw where Shakespeare was born. We also had a very English afternoon tea of scones with clotted cream. For dinner we went to a nice little pub a half hour walk from our accommodation!
  On the way we stopped for a  scone and tea. Yum!

  This is the house were Shakespeare  grew up!

  Our lovely cottage.  The place we stayed.
