Exploring England: Bath - part I

I am back on the blog again!

Easter stopped being so quiet when I went back to Norway to spend some days with my mother and when two of my relatives came back with me to England. We have been busy travelling around and exploring.

The weather has been just glorious

and my guests are completely besotted with England! 

;-)

My aim was to show them more of England than 'just' London and we went for a couple of days to Bath.

We stayed in Hunstrete House outside Bath. The hotel is an 18th century country house surrounded by gorgeous gardens and a deer park. People were arriving by helicopter and we were all more or less speechless when we realised the posh surroundings we were staying in. I came across this place by pure chance... I recommend you check out their webpage for more glorious pictures! 



The wisteria in full bloom! Our rooms were overlooking the garden and the windows can be seen on the upper floor among the blooms



We drove down to Bath avoiding the motorway and saw the most picturesque villages in the Cotswold.

I can't wait to do that drive again, but we must allow more time to stop!

The first afternoon was spent playing croquet and taking afternoon tea in the garden.

 I could get used to this lifestyle...

So civilised!
