Mom has arrived for her visit and specifically to share the Thanksgiving Holiday with us. So on her first full day here she didn't have anything specific that she wanted to see so we took a drive into the countryside.Our first stop along the way was Malmesbury Abbey (pictured left). Although David and I have toured it previously, I wanted her to have a quick look. Since it is quite a walk up to the abbey itself form the parking lot, we just took our pictures from the lot. This saved us paying for parking as well.
As you can see, the fall colors are almost done, but they still added some color to the overall scenery. I'm sure the garden attached to the abbey would be beautiful this time of year but the cost is prohibitive so we've still not visited it either.
After our stop in Malmesbury, we visited Lechlade for the Christmas Store which Mom enjoyed very much and decided she would have to think on some of the items inside and then return to make her purchases. Yes, a shipped box home is already being planned. *smile*
We stopped at the Riverside Pub to have a tasty and scenic lunch and then we were on for our grocery shopping and the like.
So, as you may have guessed, most of the day consisted of driving. Hmmm . . who would have figured.
