Welford-on-Avon, a beautiful Cotswold Village

Lovely sleep! I woke eager to see where we were - it had been dark last night and we were too busy unpacking and doing dinner to have a good look around.
Our little cottage is a '2 up 2 down' 2 storied house, fully renovated and smaller than our Paris apartment! Beautifully decorated, double glazing, new kitchen. 
Across the road we can see a thatched cottage, Shakespeare's Inn, and the village butcher. We have a little back garden, but I don't know if we'll use it - it's cold!

After breakfast we wrapped up and went for a walk to explore and marvelled at the gorgeous village. Oh my goodness! 
Found a church to attend tomorrow and spoke to the ladies doing the flowers.
People were so friendly! We met quite a few locals out for a Saturday walk. We ended up at the Bell Inn for a late lunch, good to warm up by the fire.
Then off to find a supermarket in the next town, and to buy the things for a roast lunch tomorrow after church.

Home to put on a pot of soup, then Amelia and I went or a last walk before dark (4pm!). Getting colder, windy, we were glad of double layers of everything!
