Well written. Is that a photo of you walking with your rose-colored skirt? Your opening paragraph sets the happy tone for this piece. We all have places that resonate with us. This seems to be your happy place. Marilyn

It sounds like Bourton is the perfect place for a mini-vacation. Any place that gives you a new perspective and helps wash away the stress is surely a vacation destination worth seeing.

Your descriptions are unique enough to help me feel I could see this place through your words. Great story!

Hello Maria :)
I can see why you return to Bourton year after year... it sounds wonderful.
To feel like you 'belong' somewhere must be fantastic. I don't think I ever truly felt like I belonged. I've always been a square peg trying to fit into a round hole...maybe I need to soften my edges! Or not!
I love your flavour suggestions for the blue ice-cream... I wonder what a smurf tastes like?!
I really enjoyed reading your descriptive piece. Full of vivid mind pictures and an engaging narrative, it's a pleasure to read :)
Best wishes as always, Debra :) x

A very well-written descriptive piece about the picture perfect Cotswold where you enjoyed a wonderful time and you feel that you belong there and questioned the Stork that he delivered you in the wrong place.

Yes, this is very descriptive. I don't know if this is biographical, but this person has definitely gotten in touch with her inner child.

Fish and chips - how British. Did you say you were born there or went to school in England. I'll have to look at your page again. I had to smile when I read the two year old had a camera. I wonder if that's politically correct. Oh, well, who cares, it was cute. Hugs, Lou

    I go to England on holiday, but it feels like home. I didn't go to school there, but I've done a lot of courses at Oxford University online and now I'm doing a Masters at a London Uni.
    Thanks for another kind review.

Your love of England shows through in your words here Maria and maybe you were born in the wrong place? Ha ha ha, I liked your cute and endearing story, love Dolly x

Thanks for taking us along to one of your favorite places. I like your reflective observations about the town and the lovely river, the cemetery, the museum with its topiary. You made me want to see this place.
