    Blog: A Lady in London - 31 October 2011

    On Friday I celebrated my four year anniversary of living in London. Throughout my time here, I have made an effort to see as much of the country as I can. One way I have gone about it is to take day trips from London to other parts of England. I always do so independently, [...]

    Blog: A Lady in London - 1 February 2010

    After last weekend's otherworldly experience, I needed a trip that would bring me down to earth. And what better place to come down to than the beautiful English countryside? Yesterday my boyfriend and I set out to enjoy the charming towns of the Cotswolds.

  7. The Cotswolds: Yes, it does get more “English” than Oxford!

    [ring ring] Cotswolds B&B Keeper: Six-five-zero-seven-seven-three? [Author's note: I spoke to at least three B&B owners in the Cotswolds who answered the phone like this—by reciting their phone number. Weird!] Hope: Hello? Is this Warwick House Bed and Breakfast? CB&BK: Indeed it is. H: I was calling to see if you had any double rooms available for tomorrow night [...]
