England Day #3

So this is our view from our window of the B&B!

And this was the other!  Instantly thought Mary Poppins!
The first part of our breakfast..........The peeled grapefruit and cheeses were amazing!!


Our Australian friend Joe and Jan who stayed in the other suite!  The were so great!!!
We enjoyed the traditional English breakfast of ham/bacon, sauteed mushrooms, egg, beans, toast and even a grilled tomato! 

Amazing homes...Amazing views!










Anne Hathaway's house (Shakespeare's wife)

Another great house to appreciate in Stratford-upon-Avon!

Blenheim Palace!
A beauty!  Where Winston Churchill was born and raised.



Having a good time in the gift shop!!  The hats were too big for a self portrait!


The Maze at Blenhiem! 
(It said Blenheim in the center of the maze........once again too big for my point and shoot to capture!!!)

An oak tree that could've been older than even my mom!!!

We had a habit of eating breakfast and then waiting until we were STARVING to get "lunch"!  The only problem with that it usually fell between 3-5pm which happened to be "Tea Time" and didn't seem to be enough to satisfy!  So we always had good luck in the pubs!!  Water PLEASE!

Oxford-Christ's Church
Just had to see some of the Harry Potter places.....even if the story does NOTHING for me!
Still fun!

Mom proved that she was hard of hearing by sitting down at the Table they had just barely asked us not to do! The proceeded to ignore the other plea to not touch the dishes!! 

She's a nice enough gal that she made up with the man that had to YELL at her!  Love Her!!

Our last HP stop!  So hard to find, but still worth it!!
