Great Britain, Here We Come

Our few days will be spent in Bath. Looks lovely, wouldn’t you say?

In just a few days we’ll be starting on our big adventure! Sunday we’ll be hopping on a plane here in Madison, flying to Detroit and then on to London. We’ll rent a car and drive to Bath, which is about 2 hrs or so from Heathrow. I am a little apprehensive about driving on the wrong side of the road but I think I’ll adjust pretty quickly. I’ll take it slow, go with the flow, and it will be just fine.
We’ll be staying 3 nights (Monday-Wednesday) at The Ayrlington and exploring Bath and the surrounding area. We plan to take a day trip to Stonehenge among other things. Then on to Gloucester for two nights (Thursday & Friday). We’ll meander through the Cotswolds and visit some of the iconic British countryside.

We’ll leisurely explore the British countryside looking for scenes like this.

Saturday we’ll drive back to London, drop off the car at the Airport and take the tube to our hotel. We’ll spend the next 3 nights (Saturday-Monday) in the city and plan to visit the British Museum, Highgate Cemetery, the Tower of London and maybe some other attractions, time and energy permitting. We’ll fly home on Tuesday, September 9th.

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

The chipmunks finally decided to let me have a few of their tomatoes. These are heirloom varieties known as Cherokee Purple and Tigerella.

We’ve had only a female or two at the feeders this year. They also enjoy the bee balm.

I think these little flycatchers are awfully cute.
