The walk today started at the historic town of Burford and followed the River Windrush through to  the hamlet of Widford with it's wonderful church in the middle of a field.

St Oswold dates back many centuries in fact 13th century Gothic. The murals are 14th century.

It was a lovely spring day although a keen and cool westerly breeze was blowing

Into the churchyard of Swinbrook church where the Mitford sisters lived for many years. An extraordinary family and are worth researching (any search engine will do) If OK or Hello magazine was published in their time they would have filled many pages. They were quite unique.

Swinbrook is one of the most beautiful villages on the eastern side of the Cotswolds

On into Fulbrrok with the Blossom on the trees the modern shepherds hut and the restored and working village pump.

Met this fella on my return to home who has escaped the annual shoot. Season finished end of February.
