London -- The Cotswolds -- Paris
May 15-29, 2005
On my solo morning I took a slow drive through Buckland, Stanton, Stanway, and Snowshill.  It is hard to believe that people actually live in these storybook settings.  It seems as though there is a wide-open field around every corner with sheep or horses; patches of bright yellow flowers and greenery make it all picture-perfect.
During our first afternoon we explored Broadway, popping into the many shops.  All the buildings are made with lovely honey-colored Cotswold stone.
