But between all that, we managed to see and do a lot. TIP: […]

Little Venice is a hidden gem of London, tucked away near Paddington. Here, pretty decorated narrowboats and barges line the canals and waterways of London as ducks, geese, and swans glide on by the tea-colored water. We decided at the very last minute that because we were in France, that we would ‘pop over’ to London. […]

Studley Castle Stratford on Avon We are thankful for our GPS. As we wander down country lanes, the scenery is green and pretty and we pass many small country pubs with thatched roof and crooked wood panels.
