England: Old McDonald Had a Farm

We drove around to the next town, Charleston, where we were staying and found Ronald. He’s our 125 square-foot tiny house overlooking the Durham Farm. Sitting on the bed looking out of the window, I had the perfect view of the wandering geese, grazing horses, and plump chickens.

We walked around the farm that afternoon surveying the flora and fauna. We found chickens and chicks, pheasants, ducks, and geese hanging about. And, we spotted some riders doing some horse jumps too. Waking up to hearing horses was also surprisingly peaceful.

The next day we visited Chipping Campden, by far the cutest town in the Cotswolds. Driving in we saw thatched-roof houses and the town itself had a historic uniformity to its buildings that made it incredibly adorable.

After walking the city center within the first hour there, we opted for lunch at a quaint tea room with gluten-free options! Smoked salmon on a gluten-free bagel with cream cheese and a salad on the side with chutney — yes, please! Ash opted for the full English breakfast, which unsurprisingly looked a lot like the full Irish sans pudding and adding in grilled mushrooms. He also had to get Earl grey tea and I ordered a gluten-free scone because, you know, when in England, do as the English!

Also when in England, make a call from a relic of the past that still stands in many British towns today: the public phone booth.
