The M25 was fun again (and I was early), I had breakfast at Moreton in Marsh then headed to Hidcote. It was a lot greyer, cooler and damper lol
There was a Brambly Hedge trail.
I had a red lentil Dahl soup which was nice.
I then went to Chipping Campden which one of those "live" sites described as a hidden Cotswold place. Uh yeah right. It explains why on a damp Monday in October parking was difficult lol.
I like Campden but is it me or are the coffee shops a little uninviting ? It is packed with lovely delis and you can buy serious wines but I imagine ordinary people go elsewhere? Or is everyone loaded? Don't get me wrong there are some lovely things but....
The church is superb.
The altar cloths and cope are spectacular (see photo below for info(
There used to be a big house (the people in the monument built it) but I was pulled down in the civil war some buildings survive and I believe you can use them as holiday homes.
