Tue 25 August 2026

Bourton on the Water today. We took a walk from the car park along the water and its small bridges toward the centre of town.

There were lots of tourists (including us!) from all over the world.

We ate lunch at The Croft restaurant. Me, Ella, and Sarah had Poke Bowls for the first time, Chris and Ann had fish and chips.

Afterwards Ella and I walked to the motor museum, which is a small museum full of old cars and motoring ephemera.

As well as the real cars they had some cabinets with old toy cars so I spent some time spotting some I had as a child.

The highlight of the museum was Brum the small animated car from the chiildrens TV series which Ella used to watch when she was little.

In the evening we walked to the local pub The Wild Rabbit for a drink where I had a pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord.
