Yesterday the sun appeared, so we made the most of it and walked approximately three klms into Banbury. Our first port of call was the pastie shop...Dan's favorite shop!
After our fill of pasties and cappuccinos we walked around the pretty town enjoying the quaint cobblestone streets and colorful displays of tulips which are in bloom at present. The nursery rhyme 'Ride a Cock Horse', has made Banbury one of the best-known towns in England.

In the evening Trina drove us to the ancient village of Great Tew in the Cotswold Hills. We had a drink at the local pub, The Falkland Arms, (photos above and below) which was built around 1625.
Today it has been raining again. This morning we drove to Leamington Spa, however we weren't able to walk around because of the continuous showers. Dan is losing his voice as a result of the cold he caught on the cruise.
