We celebrated the official beginning of spring this month with a day trip out to the Cotswolds, a very picturesque part of the English countryside, using the same tour company we went with to Stonehenge and Bath. Our bus stopped off at three Cotswold villages: Stow-on-the-Wold, Burton-on-the-Water (the so-called Venice of the Cotswolds) and Burford. A very pleasant and relaxing day, as there is not a whole heap to do in these little villages so we just wandered, looking at the scenery and visiting a few tea shops and country pubs.
Last Saturday we took ourselves down to She Bu Walkabout for two very important causes: a fundraiser for the victims of the Victorian bushfires and the birthday of one Rebecca Berrigan :). A very good night was had by all involved.
Not a lot more to report; we are both getting itchy feet waiting to finish up at work (4 weeks for me, 5 for Dave) and go off travelling. After our 5 week trip, we are planning a night or two in York up in the north of England, followed by a cheap flight to somewhere in Europe (possibly Italy) with friends for a final weekend before we are back to life down under.
Will update again before we go away.
