A little Treat

From June 2011
With Teenage Boy holidaying in France last week and me feeling all jittery about him being away from home for a week,Mr F. decided we should have a little treat. It certainly helped me stop worrying. We had just one night away in gorgeous B&B in Lacock. Above, you can see our very own private door with polished wooden stairs that led up to our cosy bedroom, set away from the main house. We even had our own little garden to enjoy the evening sunshine. We spent the morning in Bath, where I got chance to visit some of my favourite shops and spend some money I shouldn't have. But Lacock was the real treat. In fact, I've taken so many photographs, I'll have to blog the second day of our trip in a seperate post. As there are quite a few pictures, I won't bore you with many words.

This is the main building of our little getaway.

And the view from one of windows in our room.



From another of our windows you could see St Cyriac's church







We were also next door to house of James and Lily Potter. In fact it's where they were murdered by the evil Lord Voldemort.



Of course any visit to Lacock is not complete without a visit to Lacock Abbey, also used in the Harry Potter films

The Abbey gardens and grounds were very pretty too.

How about a little tour of the village houses, shops and gardens?

Such a pretty, peaceful village, although I was a little disappointed not to bump into Colin Firth, Greg Wise or Judi Dench...maybe next time. by the way, Teenage Boy arrived safely home yesterday, having had a brillant holiday with his friends. He brought this with him
