Well,not really, but I did visit an Inn where several scenes were filmed in the TV series, Inspector Morse. Morse, the cranky detective, is shown having a beer usually bought by his detective, Lewis, along side the river where water is rushing over a spillway. It is a beautiful setting and was the spot for a great late lunch with a friend. Did I mention I am in England? My friend is house sitting in a gorgeous place in the Cotswolds. I was invited for a few days and, as soon as I bought my Eurostar tickets, took the train, then the London Underground, and then a bus, here I was. We are having a great time.
The sign for The Trout Inn, a really wonderful place.
The front of the Inn. Isn’t the architecture great?
A lovely bridge spanning the river.
The spillway.
Our delicious lunch with the spillway in the background.
A view downstream.

Well, you Jetsetter, you! OHHH, I love the Cotswolds! Are you near Lower Slaughter at all? I’ve been there twice and it’s one of my favorite English villages. I have framed photos on my wall that I took there.
Love your photos. Very pretty area. Have fun and keep us posted on your wanderings.

I ADORE the Cotswolds. There was an article in the latest Travel & Leisure at a sweet little town there. I visited in the late 90s and have been in love ever since. Sigh. I would love to live anywhere there.

You are so lucky! I love the UK. As a teen I spent many hours in Oxford — shopping, eating, listening to bands and so on. In my twenties I was living near Cambridge, but the Oxford area is where my heart was. Enjoy and post lots of pictures!
