After a large salad and a bit of pork pie, we headed to Lower Slaughter for a stroll. As an aside, it has been so nice to have lunch in the apartment's corner room overlooking the gardens. But, back to our walk. We parked in the village and stalked off through the meadows and along a brisk little trout stream toward Upper Slaughter. Making our way past quaint cottages, we arrived at the tea room situated in the gardens of the Upper Slaughter Rectory. We had our tea and basked in the afternoon sun. After a time we gathered ourselves up and headed back to from whence we'd come. The reward for our trek back was a fine selection of homemade cakes being served at the Lower Slaughter Village Hall. Now that we've had our walk and our tea and our cakes, we head back to the manor for a glass of sherry. How civilized.
It's time to head back to France. Back to more wine, less tea and cake.
