We're in a small village called Frampton on Severn. A lot of villages in the Cotswolds have names like "something on somthing", where
they name not only the town but also the river the town is on. So Frampton on Severn is on the river Severn. It was another long drive out of
nothern Wales to here, so we didn't get much time to do anything really. We're staying in a little house called "The Old School House", and they've
got chickens and horses and stuff... it's quite a nice little farm, actually.
We visited a little castle called the Sudeley Castle. It had some amazing gardens and the like. Note the ancient guard house, complete with original satellite
dish, to keep the guards happy (though a little distracted, perhaps) while guarding the gate. There's people living in the castle - the Lord and
Lady something-or-other - so we couldn't actually go in (imagine living in a castle! It'd probably be a bit draughy though) but we had a wander around
the gardens there, and they had a bit of a bird aivery where we could see different kinds of water fowl and the like. You can see mum in the
distance of the picture above, waving at us. This is only a tiny part of the garden, there were lots of hedges and topairy and it was all very well
looked after. Ahh, to be rich! And called "Lord"!
Tomorrow we're staying just acorss the way a bit in Stroub, so we'll be going to Bath for the day. That'll be interesting, to see the Roman Baths and all that.
