Time to move on

 Sunday morning the sun shone for us as we headed back to Bath for Ella's requisite morning coffee (and a perfect hot chocolate for me, that David ended up drinking half of, as it was so delicious).  Could spend days just wandering the city and finding something new and different to feast your eyes on.

Our meandering drive took us through Newton St Loe, a tiny and very cute village owned by King Charles, then to the Slaughters - Upper and Lower,  also very quaint, with a stream flowing thought both.  Then Burford which, even though it was heaving with people, was another delight.  Just never tire of how beautiful the villages are and so full of history.

We had time before returning the rental to have another quick visit with David's cousin Wendy, which was a great opportunity to strengthen the family connection.

Dinner was Ella's favourite Thai takeout and it was delicious.  Making the. most of our last evening together.

This morning we went though the challenge of trying to fit everything back into our bags - including my Beatrix Potter collection!  Am slightly under he maximum weight which is a relief.

Ella and I walked to Queens Park so that she could do some chores - and get her morning coffee.  David and I will head off shortly to fill in a few hours before we have to say our final goodbyes.  I'm on a mission to find a 'funky' pair of British socks - about all that I will have space for in my bag!
