The Old Post Office

We began the morning with a brisk walk through Brockhampton and into the hills. Upon our return to the manor we jumped into the car and headed for the Old Post Office in Guiting Power for coffee and cake. Stepping into this place immediately brought me to the realization that it had something special. A very charming set of proprietors, a mother and two daughters, tend to this delightful little shop, preparing coffees and cakes while chatting with their regular patrons as they come and go. The level and tone of the conversation was at the same time engaging and soothing. The musical interactions might carry one back to a sweeter time. I could've sat for hours, hypnotized by the melodic essence which existed within this small space. But,alas, the coffee and homemade lemon cake are finished. It is time to get on with my day. One day I will come back to this lovely little corner of the Cotswolds.
