Cotswolds Wednesday
Went for breakfast at the Hook Norton Brewery in Hook Norton, a village a few miles from Kingham.
The brewery is originally Victorian and still has shire horses.
The breakfast was delicious and afterwards we went down to the stables to see the horses.
On the way back from the brewery we stopped at an antiques centre. I didn't buy anything but Ella bought a necklace.
In the afternoon we walked to the village shop to buy some milk and then went for a drink at The Wild Rabbit.
For dinner we headed to the nearby village of Churchill to the Chequers pub. I had a pork chop with cannalini beans and chorzio stew.
There were thunderstorms while we were eating and quite a bit of rain, it had stopped by the time we went to head home though.
Last day today, heading home tomorrow.
