I held my phone in the air,
frantically searching for signal and some way of connecting to the world I had
once known; yes, I had made it to the country. 2 hours down the M4 from London,
The Cotswolds is one of the perfect places for us city kids to escape from our
hectic lives and taste the fresh rural airs. I soon forgot I even owned a
mobile phone. The Cotswolds is known for
being ‘typically British’ and I could see why.
It is a rural area of south central England covering parts of 6
counties, notably Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire. Everywhere we turned
there were ancient churches and historic houses. We had entered a fairy-tale
land of rolling hills, horses and pretty little stone villages made in the 18th
century.

Despite the weather, it is such a lovely part of the UK to escape to. We stayed in Bluewood Lodges and they were perfect. Hot Tub and Sauna completed the trip! http://www.bluewoodlodges.com/
-the weather was mostly gloomy as this was in November and I haven't edited the photos at all, hence the gloom.
