The Rose Garden and Abby, the Abbey Cat by Beausoleil

The Botanic Garden at Lacock Abbey is extensive and fascinating. We started at the Greenhouse and adjacent herb garden. As we slowly wandered the garden paths, we were joined by a cute grey cat with white paws that I cheerfully named Abby since she was an Abbey cat. She followed us through the rose garden and all the way to Bide Brook before something else caught her attention. There are lovely views from the garden including of St. Cyriac's Church in the distance.

My painting of a hatched house in Sandy Lane, Wiltshire by Beausoleil

We visited Sandy Lane on advice from our landlady. We told her we wanted to take pictures of thatched cottages for future paintings. She suggested this tiny village and nearly every house was thatched and lovingly cared for. Very picturesque. This is the first watercolor I did of Sandy Lane when we got home. It was juried into the local watercolor society's Open Show for this coming September. Very exciting.

Reminds me of France but it is Broadway in Worcestershire County, UK by Beausoleil

We were surprised to find a town named Broadway in England. It just seems so New York City, but there is was tucked into the Cotswolds and utterly charming . . . as are all Cotswold villages. We spent a lovely afternoon puttering about there and had lots of company. Tourists have definitely discovered it; we did.

St. Patrick driving out the serpents by Beausoleil

Found this sign in Broadway in the UK and since St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland, I'm not sure why he was working in Broadway but it was a fascinating sign.

Hawthorne blooming in the hills outside of town by Beausoleil

We were walking back to our car when we spotted the hills outside town dotted with blooming hawthorne trees. The countryside was covered with them and our landlady said they hadn't had such a good bloom in many years.

House across from St. James Church by Beausoleil

This may or may not be the Rectory. It was not labeled but looked very welcoming and certainly is a charming house in a charming town.

Stow Lodge Restaurant by Beausoleil

Our search for lunch ended when we found the Stow Lodge Restaurant just off the Market Square. It had a pleasing menu and looked positively elegant. The hotel has been in the same family for fifty years and has been lovingly cared for. There is ample room to eat outside although we decided to eat inside. The service and food were wonderful.
