Cotswolds - Stow-on-the-Wold

6-Nov-2010 (Saturday) our first encounter with a Cotswold village was called Stow-on-the-Wold. And where did we head the first thing we landed? To the cemetery! Ok ok, nicely put, we were headed to a historical church - St Edwards church, but with a very very peaceful simple cemetery. Very traditional. And at the front gate of the church a sign says "Church Open", as should all sign on churches (instead of other signs that can be found on some churches in Singapore....).

We didn't manage to go inside the church as the inner door was closed. But we did walk around it, and discovered that walking over glass land of dead people in the rain (yes, it was raining lightly), could lead you to a paradise, here referring to a wonderful little stream flowing gently along at the end of the cemetery. Yes, one of my favorite photo was taken from here :) Everything was so peaceful, so serene that I feel that I could have sat there forever in bliss amiss a land of dead bodies. I'm a morbid romantic, I'm sorry, but like I've said, this is just the start of it.

We managed to walk around the small charming town after that, and had lunch at an English pub called  "The Queen's Head". Liver and bacon anyone? More on that in the food section of the blog later :)
