Ian and I had a lovely weekend in the Cotswolds. It's an area of the country I had never visited before and it was really beautiful.
Sadly we had lots of rain and instead of being able to really enjoy the sites we just dashed from shop to shop. As it was our paper wedding anniversary (1st) we'd decided to buy a picture. We saw lots of oil paintings, but I pointed out they were done on canvas and couldn't count. Thankfully we weren't excited about owning any of them anyway.
I was disappointed that most of the local images were of the villages themselves, but Ian and I are landscape lovers. It's a pity when it's such a beautiful area of the country that God's creation isn't more copied onto paper.
I have to admit that we also ate some amazing food! On Saturday night we ate in the hotel where we were staying and on Sunday morning were unable to eat anything other than a slice of toast with our tea or coffee! The Burford Lodge has recently been extensively refurbished and everything about it was excellent!
On our way home we visited an art gallery which had some delightful paintings in that we had viewed on our way down on Saturday. Together we chose a lovely sea scene! A bit odd when we were in the middle of the country, but Ian and I both love sea and sky scapes.
So we came home with our paper anniversary present afterall.
