Today is Tuesday, and I'm doing another catch-up. I lost signal last night in the pub, so never got yesterday's blog posted. This has been a recurrent problem. Internet is weak, it goes out frequently, and the signal is not strong enough for certain functions on the iPad. Anyway, we stayed above the pub in Paxford, and the room was the least nice so far. The room was tiny, the bed was soft and lumpy, the toilet was almost impossible to flush. Altogether I wouldn't recommend this place at all. I thought the food was overpriced as well. 12.95 for fish and chips!! Really!
Anyway, the day was windy and very misty so we went to Moreton in Marsh for the weekly market, which was great. Lots of vendors of fresh veg and this and that. I got a sweater for 2.50--a real bargain. We bought a few souvenirs, and had a cream tea and sandwich at a tea shop. Britain must have more tea shops than anywhere else in the world.
Then we drove to Stow in the Wold and walked around, in the rain this time. Found a great chocolate shop. Then we drove to Willersley and found our farm for our farm stay. Strict instructions to not arrive before 5:00 pm and to take off our shoes. So we're debating whether to venture out for supper tonight. Not very hungry after the large tea at 2:00 pm and we have nuts and granola bars. We were give tea and cake at 6:00. The English seem to eat a lot of cake, and, of course, tea must be taken at multiple times during the day.
The farm has lovely views and horses and sheep to look at. Tomorrow is Hidecote gardens, which we've been told are lovely.
