So our castle adventure was supposed to begin last night, but at the last minute Ben (and the rest of the crew) got called into work today. BIG BOO. So we had to cancel our reservations for last night and we are going up tonight after Ben is done work instead. I worry that he will be too tired to enjoy any of it and that we will so late arriving this evening that we wont be able to enjoy any of today and really I always feel so rushed the day of checkout when you have to hand in your key by 11am. It seems a shame to drive all that way to be there less than 24 hours....
To help out a little we packed the suitcase and car up last night and I am going to take public transit as far west as it goes to Richmond Station where Ben will pick us up. That should help Ben not having to drive into the city to come and get us and then basically back track.
I told Ben it was okay to cancel but he really wants me to take me to a castle since he knows it's always been a dream of mine since I was little and he has no more weekends off for the rest of my time here in England. Which is really thoughtful so I am trying to not be too disappointed about the sudden change in plans. I just hope Ben can enjoy it too and that work doesn't exhaust him too much today... its not like I can help by sharing the driving!
We plan to drive straight there tonight and enjoy the castle and then tomorrow take a leisurely drive back through the Cotwolds. I hope to see many thatched cottages, picturesque farms and old lovely churches as we drive from village to village stopping for lunch hopefully at a English pub somewhere along the way....
Well I better get going baby needs a bath, need to buy more baby food & diapers and then I need to pack the day bag and catch my bus!
