The Cotswolds

We started off early to travel out of London to the south west. My second cousin lives in the small town of Nailsworth. Again, we were impressed with the British transportation system. We started off in the Tube, we were going out but thousands of people were coming into the city early in the morning. The escalators go underground 4 or 5 stories and sometimes more! Caught the Tube to Paddington rail station and then took a train to Nailsworth. About 95 minutes later we were met at the station by Muriel and Harold. They took us to see their new home, an apartment rather than their old house which had large gardens. Their new flat is lovely with huge windows overlook the beautiful green countryside. Lunch was at an old house restaurant near Tetbury. Their was also time for some shopping! At 5:00pm were were headed back into London. A wonderful day, and no rain! Dinner tonight at our hotel.
