Usually I dash past Facebook ads but a picture stopped me cold--I know that place! There at the corner of the building in the foreground, I once washed the mud and sheep poop off my boots, using a brush (hanging on the wall) provided for walkers such as ourselves so that we didn't track crud into the lovely establishments of the village.
The place is the Old Mill in Lower Slaughter. In 2006 we were on a self-guided walking tour in the Cotswolds--one of the best trips ever.
The first picture is grabbed from a page on Cotswold touring. The second was taken by John, of me, cleaning those boots.
And a third, also from John's files.
It's wonderful how that quick glance brought back those very special couple of weeks.

Images can evoke powerful feelings.
Beautiful photos and memories.
What a surprise! Dan and I took that trek in 2014. I remember Lower Slaughter where we had tea and cake for lunch! We had no rain on the walking tour.
Here's a link to my first day on that walk. https://birdsbloomsbooksetc.blogspot.com/2014/07/cotswolds-walking-tour-day-1.html
Go on to the next one to see Lower Slaughter.
The company we used alas is no more.
We were to do this trip with my brother and sister in law but he took a tumble from a bike the week before departure and ended up in the hospital.
Thanks for reminding me of that wonderful vacation.
What about that! Such a wonderful thing to be out walking on one's own through gorgeous countryside and charming villages. We loved it!
