Maybe, finally, we can report that Carol has turned the corner and is feeling somewhat better. Yea! It might have had something to do with sleeping in until 11 this morning but whatever, it's good news. Just to be careful though we decided to only go back to Tetbury for another visit cause it's dead easy to get to and only 30 minutes away. Besides, it's a lovely town and HRH Prince Charles needs all the help he can get supporting his charities through sales at his Highgrove shop there. You'll be glad to hear we REALLY helped.
We had bangers and mash finishing with scones and clotted cream at The Snooty Fox, a pub that has been in town there since 1571. Yum. I think we're putting on weight with all this good eating!
On the way home we detoured via a couple of hidden gem villages and even walked thoroughly through a real beaut, meeting Katie, a lovely lady who lives there and chatting for quite a while. We promised her that we would become her neighbours as soon as we won the lottery.
At home we had a chance to get to know our hostess a bit better. Bel Mooney is a writer as we mentioned earlier. Apparently a well known one, having written and published many fiction novels, non-fiction books and is a regular (Saturday) advice columnist for the Daily Mail. She says she has a large web presence so check her out!
We also talked to her son, the ice cream man and film producer who gave us a tub of his organic ice cream to try. It's SOOOO good.
Well that's all for today. A short blog for a short but beautiful day. TTFN.
