England Trip
Day 9 June 26, 2002
By Dan, Mary Jane and Scotty Hyde
Wednesday June 26 - Bourton-on-the-Water - Another Cotswold Village
In Bourton-on the-Water, Dan and Scotty visit "Birdland," an aviary,
while Jan and I have a good chat.

Supper: "The Mad Hatter" in Bourton-on-the-Water. Jan and Mary
Jane split a meal. There is a race of little paper boats on the
stream, the Windrush, that flows near "The Mad Hatter." We pause in
Lower Slaughter to take pictures of Scotty, Jan and me on the
"Post Horse Bridge" and walk around the manor house. Jan initiates
"Mary Jane's Camera Memorial Photos," taking pictures that I
would take if my camera were still functional. We stop by the road
to take some photos of the hillside en route to Lower Swell. We pass
a live red fox on the road as we drive to our B&B.

We stay for two nights at Claremont House, Blockley,
Moreton-in-Marsh. We love the decor of this B&B! Blues and yellows
predominate in our bedroom. Nice bathroom. Penguins on snack tray in
our room!
