We had a later than usual breakfast and left the Swan Hotel about 10:30. We wondered around Wotton-under-Edge before rejoining the path. There is a very beautiful church that we stopped to see. St. Mary the Virgin is a beautiful church. We met a very friendly man coming out as we were going in. His son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons live just outside of Kansas City. We have made new friends all along the way.
We saw the oldest building in Wotton-under-Edge. Stephen Hopkins, one of the original Pilgrims, lived in this house. There is a village story that a group of the Pilgrims met in this home before they set sail for America.
We saw more beautiful views today.
For the grandchildren: If a duck is a grown up duck, what do we call baby ducks? If a sheep is a grown up sheep, what do we call baby sheep?
What is a Primary song that you sing about birds singing in the tops of trees? We’ve heard so many beautiful birds singing. Do you know what Grandma Kathy’s favorite bird is? We hear them every day but we’ve only see two. It is a pheasant. Do you know what they look like? There used to be one living in the bushes behind our house in Orem. They hide very well in the fields. As we walked into the B&B this afternoon at Foley Farms I saw one but could get a picture fast enough before it walked into the field to hide.
We also saw little streams and waterfalls along the path today. The water in the streams was very clear and clean.
We ate dinner at the Fleece Inn in Hillesley.
Tonight we are staying at the Folly Farm B&B about 1 mile outside of Hillesley.
