We’re in the utterly picturesque Stratford upon Avon, birthplace and resting place of William Shakespeare. There’s also a country and western music festival in town – consequently, there’s a 50/50 chance of running into someone […]

2018 Day 17 – Charlecote Park
One of the best things about traveling in the UK (we’ll just take lots of bunnies and squirrels as a given) are the wonderful properties run by the National Trust. We’re on the move again, […]
2018 Day 16 – Althorp
Princess Diana. What can I say, in light of the millions of words already written and the many more photos published? An icon of the 21st century, a champion of causes, a mother who adored […]
2018 Day 14 – Oxfordshire

2018 Day 7 – The Jurassic Coast
Our journey east takes us via the Jurassic Coast which stretches approximately 150 km along England’s southern shoreline. Listed as a World Heritage site in 2001, it spans 185 million years of geological history across […]
