Pink Tea in the Cotswolds



                                                             Hello everyone,
                      When we arrived at our charming little Twine Cottage(a rental) it was a beautiful sunny day so one of the first things I wanted to do was have an afternoon tea.
                      So I got out the tablecloth I had bought and a couple of pretty pillows.
                                    And the pretty teacups I had picked up at a charity shop.
                                        We had such a sweet little secluded garden with an amazing number of birds                                  singing their little hearts out!
Building a nest in the hedge.


                                                   The view from the upstairs window.

                            I didn't do much shopping in England but I did buy this pitcher.


            The magnolias were pretty there as well but when I got home to our own garden I was happy to see ours were blooming as well.

I am joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for the big birthday party for Pink Saturday.

Thank you for visiting me today and enjoy your weekend!

Twine Cottage



                                                                       Hello everyone,
                              While we were in Chipping Campden we stayed in what I consider to be a quintessential English cottage ~ Twine Cottage.
                               We had our own little enclosed garden and it was a 3 minute walk to the village.
                                                        The view from our garden.

                                                            So English!

                                      The sitting area was comfortable and cosy!
                               It had a beautiful bath with lots of character.
                      The neighbours had their own enclosed garden as well. Love the cat perched on the garden wall.
                           The cherry tree was so beautiful and it was right outside our door.

                                    I would love one of these cherry trees in our garden.
                            This was the view right across the road from us. I enjoyed hearing the ba's of the little lambs.
              If you are going to the Cotswolds and are looking for a cosy little cottage I highly recommend Twine Cottage in the beautiful village of Chipping Campden with lots of tearooms,pubs,shops etc.. I hope I can go back someday.

Thank you for stopping by ,
