Pears at Painswick Rococo

Pears at Painswick Rococo

Hey, lookee here, third week in a row and I'm still going strong on this weekly photo thing.  Really, the issue is that I am so behind.  Right now, my blogging calendar is out to May to get to the point where I am writing about the things I am doing right now.  We're doing too much, seeing too much, and definitely eating too much.  (Someone on the food tour I took today mentioned that she doesn't know how I eat as much as I do and maintain my figure and I refrained from stating: "Simple.  I don't maintain my figure.") 

Anyhow, these photos are from the very lovely Painswick Rococo gardens in the Cotswolds, a pretty small garden (though the entrance fee was far too high) with an incredible vegetable and herb garden.

I am getting the feeling that sightseeing outside of London is pretty pricey. Is that the case?

Actually, it's not so bad, especially in comparison to London, itself. Most of the gardens had discounted admission or it was around 5 - 10 pounds for both of us. There are lots of fantastic free walks (which are some of the best sights) in the Cotswolds and Cornwall area --- the moors, for example, are completely free! Accommodation can be expensive but definitely cheaper than London. Actually, I'd say the part that was the most expensive was eating out --- pub lunches could run up to around 30 to 40 pounds for a relatively simple lunch. We tended to buy groceries and cook at home and eat out only for lunch.

Oh how lovely these pics are! I'm waaaaay behind on my blogging schedule if that makes you feel any better?
