For our anniversary James and I went away to the Cotswolds for a couple of days.

 

We set off on the Sunday, a little (a lot!) later than planned due to some over-indulgence on the alcohol front the evening before. What woke me up on the Sunday morning was the sound of James decorating the toilet bowl! But that's another story...

 

We went in the Z of course, and driving it along those little country lanes past those chocolat box cottages was just great.

 

The hotel was just lovely and we had the room with the four poster bed, which was massive (the room, not the bed!). Lovely old building and really well done out.

 

On the first evening we found a cute little place for dinner, and quite bravely we were the first to go in and eat, but it turned out really well in the end as the food was lovely.

 

On the day of our anniversary we had a lovely big breakfast before setting out to Batsford Arborretum, the falconry centre and then on to Sudeley Castle. It was a really lovely day, and we got back in time to have a nice relaxed shower and get ready for our evening in the hotel restarant. We celebrated with a bottle of champagne and when our desserts came out the chef has written "happy anniversary" on the side in chocolate. Ahhhhhh!

 

We came back slowly on the Tuesday and enjoyed the rest of our day, finishing off in the traditional manner with a Cginese take away! Well, it was our anniversary!!
