More perfect weather

Dinner last night at home in Hollow Bottom. An elderly couple from Strathfield introduced themselves and told us their life story. He was driving back along the narrow lanes in the dark at 80 years young.

A slow start this morning ( staying over a popular pub seems less a good idea).

We used a perfect sunny day to visit more of the recommended towns and villages. Started at Wynchcombe and decided that a castle visit was in order. 

Suderley Castle is a private home in a beautiful setting and has an incredible history. Henry VIII's last wife Catherine Parr is buried here and after being one of the last Royalist strongholds, was largely destroyed by Cromwell. Much has been rebuilt and the displays covering all owners along with incredible artefacts was impressive.

We visited the town and then one of the nicest villages called Stanton, before a late afternoon tea in Lower Slaughter. Time for a little rest before heading out for dinner.
