Time to leave Dorset… what a beautiful county! We really enjoyed being back here again.
We said goodbye to our host and hostess, Annie and Colin, who made us feel very welcome and appreciated.
Around 1PM, we stopped at the White Hart in Burbage for lunch… the food wasn’t spectacular but it fit the bill.
A few miles away from Burford, we drove through the village of Lechlade on the Thames. When we spotted the little bridge with river boats along the riverside I quickly turned into a parking lot and took some snaps.
We arrived in Burford around 3PM and checked into Burford House. It was nice to finally see the village without snow!
But when we arrive it was just full of cars and tourists! Gack! Hopefully they’ll all be gone by suppertime.
Back in December, we walked up to the church gates of St. John the Baptist parish church in Burford. The snow was too deep for us to walk across the cemetery to the front porch.
This time it wasn’t a problem! 🙂
This is a shot looking up the Nave to the Chancel… beautiful church!
Of the many large remembrances in the church, this was certainly the largest. The tomb of the Tanfields, who were the lords of the manor back in the days and apparently quite hated by the townsfolks.
It’s been overcast all day so I just took a few pix of the streets of Burford… hoping for sun later.
We had a nice dinner at the Mermaid Inn on the high street in Burford, took a stroll up the hill and back down to Burford House. We’re now sitting in one of the guest lounges resting before going up to our room for the night.
Tomorrow’s weather isn’t looking too promising, so we’re not quite sure what we’ll end up doing. Wednesday, our last full day, is supposed to be sunny and nice! Fingers crossed!
Cheers!
