Bath & the Cotwolds

There was no alarm call this morning, our only morning with a "lie-in" as the British say. I stead the group were free to relax & rise at their leisure before enjoying the morning in Bath. It seems most people were industrious though, visiting museums etc before we met at Noon for our departure from Bath.
This afternoon's destination was the Cotswolds, one of the most famous & scenic regions of England.
The weather was perfect, sunny & warm, as we enjoyed time for lunch & exploring in Bourton-on-the-Water, known as 'the Venice of The Cotswolds due to the number of small bridges crossing the River Windrush as it gently trickles through the village.
From Bourton we took a scenic drive through a series of charming villages - Moreton-on-Marsh, churchill, Chipping Norton - en-route to Stow-on-the-Wold.
The finale of our tour of England was tonight's recital in St. Edward's Church in Stow. We were welcomed with a wonderful spread of sandwiches, cakes & tea (hot of course! & later had a very pleasing turnout for the students' performance, including the Mayor of Stow!
Later we made the final drive to our hotel at Heathrow Airport, ready for tomorrow morning's check-in & flight home... :(
