    Madeline and Alex thank you for sharing your weekend with us. I agree your service was not good and I am sorry you didn’t get your vegan roast.
    I thoroughly enjoyed your walk around the town since shops, the church bells were just heavenly. Thank you so much for sharing this day.
    The old Cotswold villages are so beautiful. Roxy has been such a good girl on your trip.
    The church in Bath is stunning. Love your choice of music. Hope your birthday trip was everything you hoped it would be. Great memories have been made on your weekend. 🎂🎁🥂🎊🐶🌺💐🥰

    I grew up very near to Burford and didn’t appreciate how lucky I was until I was much older. It’s pronounced ‘Bye-bury’ and ‘South Sur-nee’ 😄. I live overseas now and make regular trips back. I’m always scanning rightmove for a dream cotswolds cottage that I will own one day ☺️ p.s next time you visit the cotswolds maybe try the south Cotswolds around the Stroud Valleys. So many beautiful towns and villages like Painswick, Minchinhampton, Sheepscombe, Tetbury etc.

    Daylesford is very pretty but sooooo overpriced, Alex is absolutely right when he says it’s pretentious. Range Rovers, designer wellies (which have never seen mud) but it’s good for inspiration. You can achieve everything they have for a better price elsewhere. We moved from South Devon to Warwick because of our visits to the Cotswolds, all the villages are about 40 minutes from us and Warwick is lovely.

    It’s so true about the food thing..I find so often when I book ahead and plan it doesn’t work out but if I just walk and ask around I find something good!
    When I was on holiday in Europe and staying in Turin I spent so long trekking around the city for food and almost every vegan place I found was closed but it wasn’t advertised on their website or social media just a hand written note on the door and then on my final day I found the cafe next door randomly had vegan pastries! 🤦‍♀️

I asked the waitress who said yes it was vegan but then she went to ask the chef and came back to say that actually it wasn’t😑

      Haha that’s very true her legs are so short that it takes a lot of effort to build her speed up 🤣 and that is a good mantra to remember! Expectations is what often let’s us down which is probably why planning stuff like this often doesn’t work because I get my hopes up!

    • @glynnL
      @glynnL 2 года назад +1

      @@MadeleineOlivia not having any expectations or letting your hopes get up seems so negative and wooden, I just can’t fully buy into it. Being disappointed sometimes means that at least there was excitement. I guess when people say it they mean no expectations means you can get excited in the moment when it’s good? It’s a concept I just haven’t been able to fully grasp if that makes sense, it starts going philosophical when considering if the happy expectations get ruined by the result or not. Ends, means, journey sort of thing.
