Hedgerows & Gardens

SONG - Wildflowers by Tom Petty

Day 7 & 8

On Monday morning we took off from Bath and arrived at Charingworth Manor near Chipping Campden by about 2.  We were going to stop at Castle Combe along the way but we drove right on through as it was so crowded. I think both our car & phones GPS are not ideal as they keep sending us on single tracks with hedgerows! We had lunch in the conservatory restaurant while watching the sheep in the surrounding fields with their new lambs and then headed back to our room to unpack. Mr. B took a proper lie down as he hasn’t been sleeping well at night and I did some reading. 

Tuesday was the day to enjoy some sunshine and an amazing English garden - Hidcote.  I had pulled a parking pass the day before through our Royal Oak (US) National Trust (UK) passes. We had been to Hidcote in 2017 and even though we are 2 weeks earlier in the season, it did not disappoint!

Enjoy the show!

Only one near miss with a strong horn honk and one finger salute - we are counting this as a good day of driving!
