Love at first sight is the correct description of how I feel about this village in Gloucestershire. Our cottage is on a small lane, just off the high street. As I am writing this I can hear the clip clop of horse’s hooves just outside on the lane. There are birds everywhere, mostly jackdaw, magpie, carrion crowns and wood pigeon, as well as a few robins and the occasional pair of pheasants scuttering along the hedgerows. The village is beyond charming, perfectly situated in the midst of lush rolling pastures. Everyone we have met has been so kind and friendly. Here are a few pics I took on Saturday:
My first walk of the day, at about 8 am. This is St Catherine Catholic Church, just on the corner of our lane.
Many doorways on the High Street lead to private courtyards, or hidden shops.
St James Church.

Chipping Campden High Street in early morning light.
On our afternoon walk we find this gate which leads into the lovely Ernest Wilson Garden. Mr Wilson was born in Chipping Campden and was an important plant collector of the early 20th century.
These unusual rose hips were interesting.
A lovely, quiet place.
