Drowning in the Cotswolds

Went to the Cotswolds today to go Aqua sphereing. Had brilliant memories of doing it in 2007 but this time was rather upsetting in a "I am going to die!" kind of way. Being mid-April it was a semi-overcast day and not warm enough to warrant submerging one's self in frigid water. That was the main problem-the sphere was so full of water that as my Mom and I tumbled down the hill my head was periodically under and I feared drowning. Sounds all very dramatic and overblown but during the 20 second experience I was rather traumatized.

Anyhow...after sphereing we continued our day in much pleasanter pursuits driving and walking through numerous quaint villages. In one we stopped at an ice cream factory and talked with the dairy farmer who ran it. He showed us all the cute baby cows and I also saw numerous lambs. LOVE! Another vivid memory is that of the Rape seed fields blooming vibrant yellow.

This evening Sophia Johnston and her family came over for dinner and we all played Liebrary.
