Andy and I walked a 4 mile circular walk through 2 tiny Cotswold villages, Hampnett and Northleach. Starting in Northleach we crossed fields, climbed up a steep hill, crossed over a B road and headed for Northleach. Shown in these photos: top left: view of the Norman church in Hampnett where in the late 1800's the reverend took it upon himself to have the chancel stencilled (as shown in the bottom left photo). Reading the history of the church, the locals did not take well to such decoration and started a fund raising campaign to rid the church of the stencilling - fortunately, they were unsuccessful. The stencilling is beautiful! The lower right photo is of the church at Northleach, a much grander church, but not as interesting as the Hampnett church in my opinion. Photo in the top right hand corner is one of the beautiful views we encountered on our Cotswold walk.
Rachel and Tyler returned from their trip to London and we are off to London tomorrow to take in The Lion King. Rachel and Tyler bought tickets for all of us to go (very generous of them) and we're all stoked to see it!
