Snowshill, Cotswolds

Last weekend we went to the Cotswolds for a genuine English 'weekend in the country.' The house we stayed in (courtesy of Kate who works for the National Trust) was a lovely old stone pile with five bedrooms spread over three wonky floors. We were eleven altogether and somehow we managed to survive with only two bathrooms!

Tiny Snowshill is perched on a hillside about 45 minutes west of Oxford. Serious country atmosphere with tons of sheep, continuous birdsong and walkers striding over the land with black labs and tweed hats. We loved it all.

Emma arranged everything with precision so meals were planned in advance with each person cooking at least once. Too much food and definitely too much wine! It was a joy to meet some new people (Clare, Tamsin, Rob, Lou, Martin and Sam) and see friends from Norwich (Emma, Kate and Abi). We were an eclectic group: an archivist, a researcher, a linguist, a vicar, 2 archaelogists, a teacher-in-training, a gardener and a cabbie!

We can't wait to do it again!
