Crazy weather continues.

 Monday was a lazy day with a walk around the village and down to the river - unfortunately the pub is closed! In just a couple of days the river has risen dramatically!

 A few days ago we were able to walk to the cabins!

Yesterday, even though it was raining, we decided to go to the Cotswolds. Because of floods there was only one way to go and that was via Stourport where luckily the bridge is high enough not to be a problem. We had a look at the flooding and I was shocked by what I saw.

  

I was amazed! The vehicle below, picture taken in the morning, would have been in the water by afternoon as the river rose so much during the day! 

We drove through torrential rain but it started to clear as we reached Stow-on-the-Wold. This is a market town 'built ' by the Norman's.  

 

 We had a good wander after a coffee and a piece of Lardy cake! We even wandered into a huge antiques shop - shame things don't travel too well in a suitcase, there were some beautiful glass were.

Next stop Bourton-on-the-water, another pretty Cotswold village.

We had a very nice lunch before finding a pottery shop where my sister and I made a purchase each. The pottery was very happy to tell me that he had sold 90 odd pieces to the Four Seasons hotel in Sydney!
