The Cotswolds
Welcome to the Old World
"Think of England as a very large book. The Cotswolds would be an unfussy chapter in the middle somewhere where there is lots of limestone and even more sheep.” - Susan Meissner, Secrets of a Charmed Life
Unfussy. Because life slows down in the Cotswolds. Trickling rivers flow under toy-town bridges. Cottages line up on cobbled lanes. Rolling plains tumble into castles and manor houses.
Instead what you feel is a great surge of gratitude that a place like this exists. That you're lucky enough to be here. That your camera is fully charged and all that's expected of you is to enjoy where you are.
