It would be a shame to miss out on the quintessential British experience because of gluten. I've actually been concerned you wouldn't have a proper tea as I have been reading your posts. Years ago in London, I remember eating scones with cream and jam while listening to harp music, and saying , please don't pinch me, I don't want to wake up!Betsynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-91787307122030489242014-08-11T10:16:00.404-04:002014-08-11T10:16:00.404-04:00You were only just up the road from where I lived!...You were only just up the road from where I lived!

I pretty much did a British tour of tea rooms! Every evening we looked for a place to get cream teas... and we were walking so much that I didn't gain a pound. Another fun thing to do on you visit is to go into some "Sweets shops". You'll find candies you remember from your childhood but haven't seen in decades! The British are really big on their sweets.

I took our little granddaughter last summer, although as we don't live too far from Bourton on the Water we visit quite often. Never tire of the Cotwolds and we are so lucky to have this beautiful area on our doorstep. Thanks for your lovely photos, Bonnie.
