Just Lovely Print E-mail

I love how the British say lovely. Everything is lovely. We spent a lovely weekend in July in the lovely English countryside. We drove south from Reading where Scott is working. Scott’s getting good at driving on the left side of the road after practice in South Africa and New Zealand. We stopped in the town of Bath for lunch and a little shopping. We continued on to Somerset where we stayed at the lovely bed and breakfast Charlton House. england_july_2008_003.jpgI picked this place because Charlton is the town I grew up in in Massachusetts. england_july_2008_006_2.jpgOur room looked out onto the back lawn where the croquet course was set up (as every proper English B&B must have a croquet course). In the morning after breakfast and some croquet we drove back to Reading, stopping in a little town along the Avon River for afternoon tea and scones. Mmmmm, another great English tradition. Cheers!

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.  Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”  - the immortal words of Mark Twain
