I too would love to live there - but it actually is a working farm, despite parts of it looking a bit shabby - and to buy it would cost well over a million pounds in this area, with all the land it's got added on - a bit beyond my means, sadly! :)Gretelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00399585879728373265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-36277577981639612002008-02-29T09:34:00.000+00:002008-02-29T09:34:00.000+00:00Wow, beautiful walk. if I could I'd buy that old s...Wow, beautiful walk. if I could I'd buy that old stone farmhouse. and spend my life lovingly restoring it. If I lived as close to it as you do I would probably be there already and just fixing small things. My fiancé would drtive out every day after work to get me or I would never come home...Sofisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02694188758122555962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313028.post-24630970585382242612008-02-22T23:19:00.000+00:002008-02-22T23:19:00.000+00:00I see you managed to dodge the gamekeeper this tim...I see you managed to dodge the gamekeeper this time! If it were the northern hills more than likely the walking poles would have been sticking out the top of the rucksack. It amazes me how many people have the poles in their rucksack. Well it was a nice walk for sure so thanks for sharing. Did you ever walk any of the Cotswold Way? I did a few years ago now, it was quite an adventure.
