The Cotswolds

We have been living, eating, sleeping and breathing our extension project for the last few months but last weekend brought a little oasis of calm among the stress as we literally "got away from it all" with a visit to Lizzy in the Cotswolds.  And what better way to de-stress than to visit the beautiful gardens at Hidcote, with it's huge collection of hydrangeas.  I can't remember what this is one is called (Lizzy?) but it was one of my favourites. 

And then on Sunday a trek across the fields took us to yet another place of zen-like calm, Lizzy's ceramics studio.  In true generation game style, we watched the expert at work and then all had a go at "throwing" (which I discovered means anything but, which might explain why I was never any good at this at school).  
Thanks Lizzy for a great weekend.
