My kids are away for the week on a school trip,
so I've had a chance to see more of England
at a more leisurely pace
Here's a few photos from the week
that to me
seem unmistakably British
A tour of Prince Charles's private garden at Highgrove
brought me to the charming town of
Tetbury in the Cotswolds
And I wandered York for the day,
a beautiful, historically rich walled city in northern England,
easily accessible by a 2 hour train ride from London
The weather has been good this week
and since I have time to eek out one more day trip,
I am off to fulfill a garden quest today
Hoping to return with some wonderful photos to share with you

I love your very English photographs. You have inspired me with a wish to go off exploring. Autumn is my favourite month here- we so often FINALLY get some sunshine! Jane x
Very English! We have some beautiful little corners here! We I could be you for your tea party but sadly it's too far away! Have a great time! Ada :)
Lovely photos - Tetbury is in my corner of the woods.
Fabulous photos! I just love exploring little British towns and I always find something unique about each one. You are right, these are quintessentially British. Isn't York just fabulous? We went there in 2008.
Lucky you to go to Highgrove!! it must have been SO interesting - lovely photos - so enjoyed the tour :))

Very British indeed! Love your pics - such a charming shot around every corner!
Thanks for passing along my info to Maureen (Daydream Living) who just moved to Dubai :)
Wish I could be at your bloggers tea!
Love these photos
Hi Laura!
Thank you so much for taking us along!
You're having so much fun!
These definitely look quintessentially English to me, Laura. I would love to visit the city of York, as well as James Herriot country in Yorkshire; his books are some of my all-time favorites. :)
Enjoy the rest of your free time to travel; I look forward to more pretty pictures.

Gorgeous photos! TFS!

Love Tetbury and your photos are wonderful! There is a very good cafe there in Brown and White's big Georgian building in the High Street. Divine coffee. x
Oh to see York again. Was the street entertainer dressed in blue still dancing? Love the Shambles, but far too crowded. I would have loved to tagged along with you.
Gorgeous photos. And now I'm homesick.
some of these scenes are straight out of a storybook! so beautiful!
I have relatives by York, so that town...especially The Shambles...is a favorite place. And we love Tetbury! I have to dig out some of my photos! Keep sharing your trips!

Oh my goodness, it is so beautiful there! I can hardly imagine living somewhere so wonderful. I'm in love with that first photo :)
Gorgeous pictures!
Thank you for sharing! Lovely photos and enjoying the sightseeing!
A warm hello from the Pacific NW coast,
Thank you so much for sharing! What a lovely little village! Hope the garden was gorgeous!
Love strolling through the UK with you.
Love the photos.
I just LOVE these photos! So quaint and lovely!
Lovely, blog! Wow! I think I shall need a pot of tea and a rainy day, and your blog!
Keep the photos coming! Stunning!
So many beautiful images...loved the tour!!
Hi Ann, Maybe because it's the low season or because it was a weekday, the Shambles was not very crowded and there was no street entertainment. Would loved you to tag along too :)
Love James Herriot! I read a collection of his stories to my kids when they were younger :)
My pleasure! I wish I could come to Dubai and meet you both :) Maybe one day...
You lucky girl :)
Beautiful England! I wish I had a fiver for every time I've been around that roundabout in Tetbury. Our good friends live there. It's a beautiful little town and the shopping is great!

I love these photos! Makes me want to take a trip there soon!
so charming...like a storybook!
Crickey! I'm in love with all these photos! You are a beautiful photographer and you just make me want to hop on a plane and go to England. Such a beautiful place.
All those lovely pictures make me realise that I really don't appreciate where I live! I should be more grateful :-)
Also, I love wandering through the Shambles in York (great bookshops...)
Great photos of some lovely places. I used to work in York and took for granted what a beautiful, historic city it is - now I love to visit as a tourist and wander about taking photos. x
I always enjoy your take on all things British, lovely photos.
I love getting out of London and into the countryside. Your photos make me want to head to the train station right now....
Great photos that couldn't possibly have been taken anywhere other than the UK!
Such a stunning post, Laura. I thought I commented the first time around ☺. You really have such a gorgeous eye for composition and colour. Thanks for linking up again with the POTMC! J x
