I am in love. In love with the English countryside. The architecture of old English farm houses. The sheep that dot every hillside. The slow rambles through the hills and farmland. Traveling can be very akin to relationships. Sometimes it is love at first sight. Other times it takes wooing. England has been a gentle wooing of my heart. I have always loved my trips to England. But this is the first time I am absolutely head over heals in love. May the pictures speak for themselves.
We spent our time in the Cotswolds. Specifically, Blockley. A sweet, quiet little town. Our days in Blockley were spent taking walks through the countryside among fields and farms, woods and villages. But without question, my favorite place we visited was Daylesford Organic Farm. Words cannot even begin to express how my heart felt as if it would burst with the perfection of Daylesford. Every last detail was beautiful, as if being an organic farm was not enough. A definite recommendation. But more than that, it is a must visit. A place of dreams. Such a delightful lunch and afternoon. The best meal and coffee we had in England on this trip.

The only town we did not have time to explore that we wished we had time for was Woodstock. It looked like a charming town.
