Anyone for Non-Scones?

What a fantastic day we had today. Slept well enough, got up early enough and the weather was perfect enough. Enough enoughs already? With the start we got, we were in Bibury already at about the time we were getting out of bed yesterday. The reason we went to Bibury again was to get a good book on the Cotswolds that we had seen on our last visit there and to properly see the village. We also had locally grown trout for lunch which I found yummy but Carol not so much.
Then on to Bourton-on-the-Water which is considered to be the Venice of the Cotswolds because of its' canals. The first stop was at the tea rooms right in front of where we parked. Lesson for travellers: don't always take the easiest way. Although these tea rooms looked cute, their coffee was almost as bad as the White Spot and their scones were more like poor small copies of Sally Lunn buns. Just a few steps further along High Street were many cafes that looked much better AND overlooked the canals. Oh well.
Bourton is a very pretty village. High Street follows the main canal as it winds through the village. Beautiful trees and grand houses with lovely gardens line the canal and there is a generous pedestrian walk through it all. So picturesque.
On the way home we experimented with fooling the old TomTom and succeeded except for one roundabout which drove me (literally) crazy. More on that later. The way we did it probably took us a bit out of our way but it was a much calmer drive. We told it first to take us to Cirencester and then as we approached Cirencester, we reprogrammed it on the fly to take us to Tetbury and again as we approached Tetbury, we reprogrammed it to take us home. It kept us on roads we knew except for that one roundabout. It was like one of those British comedy sketches where a car goes around and around the roundabout because it can't find the correct exit. I just could've see it no matter how slow I went. The display on poor TomTom looked like a Gordian knot. Eventually, after trying all of the exits, TomTom gave us a pass and sent us along the correct road. I swear I heard applause from other motorists back at the roundabout.
We're home now, happy with our day but in need of a good glass of wine with half a Cornish pastie.
TTFN.
