I love watching them. They are so hard to find in the US.<br /><br />Meanwhile, my husband, who used to live in Bretforton, is trying very hard to figure out what village in the Cotswolds you live in. He thinks he finally worked it out. He is a bit like a dog with a bone on things like that. :)Wyldharehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492421838006168323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-42384935686460975282009-09-09T19:01:23.779+01:002009-09-09T19:01:23.779+01:00Great post and pics (as usual :) I'll remember...Great post and pics (as usual :) I'll remember that warning of the Grunter, but it makes me want to give it a try to see just how bad it is, haha!

We were driving through Otley in Yorkshire, on our way to watch our rugby team play at their ground and were held up in the town by hoards of Morris Men crossing the road etc, on their way to a MM competition! It was great seeing the different costumes, I almost wished I was going to watch them....but the rugby beckoned, and we won, so that was ok.<br />And I LOVE the doggie!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-2372422948072835572009-09-09T02:27:46.689+01:002009-09-09T02:27:46.689+01:00Full of beautiful (and amusing!) hats.
