Rainy day...

Woke up to a steady drizzle.  No worries, we're ducks.  Our Oregon winter has been a good lead in to the English "changes in 5 minutes" weather.
So we drove to Stow for a coffee, then on to Bourton-on-the-water.
Burton on the water is the "Venice of the Cotswolds".  And they've got the tourists to prove it.  

Next we went to a National Trust site called Snowshill.  It was the former home of some eccentric dude named Charles Wade.  He collected shit.  He put it in his house, then donated the entire lot to the National Trust.  Nowadays, we call this hoarding.  So, this guy is probably the patron saint of hoarders.  Above is a pic of the bicycle room.  

So today were two kewt towns followed by a house full of old junk.  Meh...

Tomorrow... Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill.
