On 15th September we met Ali and Alan for three nights at Field Barn Park, a campsite just south of Borton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds.

We visited Sezincote, a remarkable privately owned estate billed as ‘India in the Cotswolds’. Built 200 years ago, it was said to have inspired the Prince Regent’s designs for the Brighton Pavilion. The gardens were huge, full of ponds, streams, statues and follies.
