This has been a day of adventure, as in 1) pick up a rental car in Bath and decide on the various insurance coverages, given the situation; 2) remember how to drive a manual transmission; 3) re-program my brain to sit on the RIGHT and drive on the LEFT ... which is tough enough anyway but unreal when one hits a round-about (rotary)! It was a white-
knuckle drive back through central Bath (went the wrong way) and finally out and north. I do owe some apologies to a couple of drivers--whose horns are in excellent working shape.A two-hour drive brought us to the amazing village of Broadway in Worcestershire, deep in the Cotswolds, where we will stay for five nights at Russell's, a restaurant with rooms above, directly on High Street in the middle of the action.
(Our room has the two open windows over the front door in the top picture.)We spent a bit of time preparing for Katie's birthday tomorrow, took a walk, and ate outside at a pub down the block. This is a beautiful place... for those who have been there, think the best of Cape Cod and Camden, Maine (minus the ocean).
This will be our base as we visit surrounding villages, each one reportedly more beautiful than the last.
Len and Liz, If your room is on the first floor, remember that there are people who would take advantage: http://tinyurl.com/lwrbsf We didn't think of it until it was too late. R+C
