Heading to London on Sunday for a few nights. Then stepping onto the train heading to Amsterdam will signify an end to our time in England. It has been a stupendous last month of summer in which we have enjoyed relativity warmish weather and lashings of rain.

The Abbey Gardens – Malmesbury
On the border of the Cotswold region lies Malmesbury. The mellow hilltop town of Malmesbury is peppered with ancient buildings constructed out of honey-coloured Cotswold stone.

The Oddest Town in England – Glastonbury
On our arrival in Glastonbury, the first glimpse we had was not the mysticism and eccentricity it was all the hanging baskets bursting with blooming flowers. They were a surprise and more than we had seen in other English towns. What a colourful and cheerful display. There were more surprises to come as we wandered… Continue reading The Oddest Town in England – Glastonbury
