Idyllic holiday OR bloody hard work?...

I have often thought that I would love to travel through England/Scotland on the canal systems. BUT on finding these locks I wonder...
They are special and yes somewhat exceptional... The Caen Hill Lock system near Devizes has 29 successive locks, which raise the water level 72 metres in just 2.5 miles. The young couple in the featured boat had been hard at work since 8.00am in the morning to get half way through at 12.00pm. Now that is not relaxing! As they said an evening in a local pub was keeping them going!

How English...

I love these photos. Most were taken in the Cotswold area. Not only are the thatched roofs and stone houses beautiful, the gardens were also magnificent.

Anna...

I think I have fixed the time!
(No not on this clock but for my Blog posts!)

We're back...

It has been a long time since the last post BUT here I go....




... a taste of what we saw and experienced.
A cottage in Broadway, Chipping Campden, England. How beautiful!
