After we left the wonderment that was Priya and Chet's wedding, we headed to Diane's house in Woodstock. Once we arrived and carried in all of our luggage (thank you, Kimba, for carrying mine up the stairs!), Diane put the kettle on and we had a cup of tea. We also were able to enjoy the take away plates which Kimber scored for us at the wedding. She balanced them on her lap during the trip and didn't spill a drop.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten exactly how to make a cuppa and Diane had to give me a refresher course. I'll enlighten all of you: heat the kettle to boiling, pour water into the cup/mug to heat it up, heat the kettle to boiling again, dump out the water in the cup/mug, and put your tea bag in. Then, pour boiling water over the tea bag and let steep for just a bit - not too long, remove the tea bag and add milk and sugar. Enjoy!
The Brits have it right - a cup of tea does solve a myraid of troubles.
Once we had our tea and felt a bit settled down, Diane took us for one of her famous tootles in the Cotswolds. You've never tootled the Cotswolds until you've tootled them with Diane.
But, here's the problem....I fell asleep in the back seat so although I was tootling along with Kimber and Diane, I don't have anything to say about it! Kimber does and certainly she will wax eloquent about the experience. Hopefully, she'll be able to post some pictures.
I do know that the colors were brilliant; everything was so green and the roses were spectacular. It stays light for a long time so we were out until nearly 10:00 p.m.
The front seat girls woke me up while on the way back to Diane's. It was about this time that my camera snuck away from me and went missing some where in the rental car.
Upon arrival at Diane's, she put on the kettle and popped a couple of pizzas in the oven. After our pizza fix, Kimber and I were ready for bed.
The Cotswolds. It's good to be home.
