Cotswold 2

A very slow morning with a sleep-in being the order of the day from all quarters. The family breakfast was organised for a mid to late time schedule. 
A dragonfly like insect, on James' car , caught our attention.
By midday we were all set to depart for Stow-on-the-Wold, with James opting for  the clear sky's at Peterborough sky diving. 

Arrived at Stow-on-the-Wold, found a convientent parking spot - at very limited supply due to Stow-on-the-Wold's popularity (Reminder, don't visit the Cotswolds on a weekend). 

The ancient market square at Stow-on-the-Wold. 
The shoppers!
The Porch House claimed to be the oldest Inn in England.
... door way.
Time to leave!
Took some time wandering this old village - the highest village in the whole of the Cotswolds. Many shops were explored before heading back to the van and our next stop at Northleach for lunch. 
The lush growth, greenery and hawthorn and cow- parsley blossom sets the scene for a scenic landscape.

Later we drive on to Bibury before we had to high tail it to the railway station for Maddie to get back to London. 

We drove on a short distance to our overnight at Englefield Green. 

Another lovely day with the family. They all go so quickly.
