Getting to London was nothing but easy. Our bags were packed, the house cleaned and pets kissed... and we still had 2 hours to wait til the bus. Strangely easy.
Fast forward to tomorrow then - since we don't remember much of the Ambien-laced 9 hours on board. (Not much except British Airways did NOT exceed expectations in regard to the weird eggy breakfast I shouldn't have eaten before we disembarked.)
Welcome to Enterprise rental cars! Here we picked up our DS - a fancy-ish car with decent get up and go that we'd never heard of and began the drive into the Cotswolds. Well, Mark began the drive. I was just the navigator, photographer.
For a while the road was wide and well marked. Then it wasn't. What we didn't know was that even today's roads would, after some comparison, later be remembered as wide and safe with good visibility.
We ate fish'n'chips at the Inn for all Seasons which was quintessentially English in SO many ways, somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Sadly there was literally no room at the Inn so we moved on, looking for walk before the end of a long day finally caught up with us.
Trapsing through some wheat fields , we thought we were on a public path but were wrong (short story) and then knowingly trespassing in a private estate, we had fun right up until the stinging nettles administered a dose of karma.
A nice, if slightly too modern for the Cotswolds, hotel awaited. I don't remember what we did for dinner... or if we had dinner even. Nighty-night to us.
P.S. Day one complete without rain!
