Which brings me to the topic for this post -- our trip to England in 1999. Back in the summer, I wrote about the London part of our trip, and you can read about our visit to Stratford-upon-Avon, as well. We also went to Ireland at that time, and I've done two posts on that part of the trip. You can find those Here and Here. Since I'm still undecorating and putting away Christmas things, now is a good time to do a travel post.
We basically had one full weekend in England, plus the following Monday through Friday afternoon. My husband had to work the Monday through Thursday that we were there, but we still managed to do some sightseeing. We took the train to London on the Saturday, and we drove to Stratford upon Avon on Sunday. In addition, the owner of the country hotel where we stayed kindly offered to drive me to a nearby town one day to see some sights. Warning: This post is photo heavy, folks.
I enjoyed seeing London (a whirlwind visit, to be sure), but without a doubt my favorite part of England was the countryside and the small villages. We spent seven days and nights at the Bellows Mill, in Bedfordshire, just outside the small town of Dunstable.
