We always used to hire a car over August bank holiday weekend when I would come home from New York, so we decided to keep up the tradition. I wanted to see the Elizabethan garden that English Heritage restored at Kenilworth Castle.
Then we went to the West Country. First to Wells, where the cottages are made of a salmon-coloured stone.
Wells Cathedral
And just behind the Wells Bishop's palace are open fields - I can't imagine a more English landscape.
The ruins of Glastonbury Abbey.
We drove along the Dorset coast. It was a beautiful day (perhaps the only day in August that the sun has shone) and the sky and water were a wonderful blue. This is Chesil Beach.
We also made a stop in Weedon in Northamptonshire where my great-great-grandparents Thomas Dellas and Sarah Ann Baron were married at the Weedon Barracks. No pictures though - I took snaps of the wrong buildings. Ooops.
