    I love the Cotswolds, in fact, as a child I went to boarding school there. You might be interested to read up on a project I’m working on with local best selling author Joe St Clair, particularly the interview we did at Minster Lovell Hall http://bit.ly/1ftVAMg It is such a mysterious, beautiful, and inspiring place. Check out the maps section on the Tip Tours site so if you’re anywhere near, then you could make a quick diversion to visit and soak up the atmosphere.

    You may also want to check out Bourton on the Water where best selling author and watercolourist Terry Harrison, and his wife (who is also an author and watercolourist) Fiona Peart. (their site is here: http://bit.ly/1eBtsli ). It would be good if we could all meet up to share a pot of English tea and some locally baked scones together! Hope you have a safe trip and I’m looking forwards to reading more about it on your blog.
