Discovering Stow...

I don't think a herd of elephants pounding thru the cottage could have woken us up that first night! It was Sunday morning and this was my first view out my bedroom window...kind of misty and dreamy looking.  This is why I love England so much!  The sun quickly burned off the cloud and it turned into an absolutely gorgeous day!
Are we really here?

We got dressed and walked down the road into town in search of a good cup of coffee.  We found this little place with beams just overhead, very cozy and very old. 


We wandered around the town of Stow-on-the-Wold, (this town I had imagined and dreamed about thru pictures and guide books for the last 4 months), discovering hidden alleys and paths, sweet little boutique type stores around each corner.
The town square was very busy with a lot of traffic and tourists.  Beautiful big trees shade a corner where you can sit down and watch people go by,  enjoy the warmth of the sun and pure joy of being.
