Rest before Christmas

Ideal site for resting before the hectic rush of visitors. Site is in easy walking distance of Moreton, market day is Tuesday, which did have some small Christmas stalls. Wednesday we caught the bus form opposite the site to Stratford, being Welsh we had to pay £7.80 each for a scenic tour of the Cotswolds, through all the small villages arriving some 90 mins later, so it was good value seeing all the Christmas decorations in the villages. Though disappointed with Stratford, it has been a couple of years since we visited and then it was in the summer, so spent most of the time around the basin and theatre area. This time we walked through the town, quite depressing, a lot of tacky cheap shops and charity shops, but it was a relaxing ride back. Good restaurants in Moreton, best food was in the Black Bear, don't be put off by outside appearance, landlord very friendly, plenty of coffee shops with very tempting cakes, spoilt for choice. Being December the site was quite quiet, plenty of hot water and spotlessly clean, weather was brilliant, blue skies which is a real change from all the rain that have had recently. It was a refreshing break and now we're ready to welcome our Christmas visitors...
