Girls and I spent a weekend at Diana’s in
Cheltenham. We are doing this fun thing with a couple of old classmates – we
realized that we all ended up living in different cities around the UK, so we
meet up once in a while to talk about everything, reminisce about school, and
explore places (in this case, the beautiful Cotswolds).
On Saturday we spent whole day in the farm
with lots and lots of animals, which just reminded me of good old childhood
days spent at my grandparents’ farm.
We got to feed baby sheep and goats from
the bottle, had a tractor tour around the farm, and bought some fresh milk.
We all secretly wished we could stay and live there - it was certainly very refreshing to get out of the city to the
countryside!
Then off we went to another farm looking
for freshly laid eggs (as I was going to bake brownies later on for Airida’s 25th
birthday).
The house was old and cozy,
full of vintage knick-knacks, I’m sure my mum will appreciate the picture with
old horseshoes!
We got the eggs, some lovely honey, spices,
played with two friendly dogs, and finally left as we were getting peckish.
What does one eat when in Cotswolds? I
don’t know about other people, but I could eat scones for breakfast, lunch and
dinner (I didn’t, but I would).
We all agreed scones is an excellent idea,
so we headed to a little old pub for some cream tea.
Next day we woke up slightly hungover after
the little party we had, but got out of beds as we didn’t want to miss out on
seeing some more of the Cotswolds. I’m not even sure what’s this little village
called, but it was beautiful, peaceful and we were in the perfect location for
some charming views.
See you later beautiful Cotswolds!
