After much searching online, PJ found another hotel that might be convenient for us to use.
After all the illness and snow and frost (you get the picture!) it was decided that we would go over there and check it out, taking Little Soldier with us. We made a few stops, mainly to see Uncle R as he has had an accident and we had to check he's ok. He is, few cuts and minor bruises after a day in hospital but ok. It was a good lesson to remind Little Soldier about being careful around cars!! Uncle R was walking back to his own car and was knocked over by a naughty car.......
Then we called in for lunch 'somewhere' ....... and then set off to find the chickens!
It was a lovely sunny day, from inside the card, and the views of Warwickshire were marvellous.
One forgets how lovely English countryside is even in the winter.
It will be in full greenery when we come this way again ........
Eventually we found our Chicken Hotel, set above Edgehill battle ground.
Difficult to believe that centuries ago our forebears were fighting it out in this beautiful place......
Little Soldier had decided to have 40 winks after his lunch so I remained in the car with him while PJ went to have a look. He spent some time with Jamie who was in charge, although at first we thought a customer was the owner! lol
Jamie made a note of the dates we wanted, confirmed that we were at Edgehill, recommended the local restaurant, and we were off home again.
We thought of visiting the Castle but as Little Soldier was asleep, and it was still quite early, we would make the return journey, preferably not getting lost!
A few miles outside of Stratford, the snow came down again but thankfully didn't settle just turned to rain ...... Little Soldier, woken up by now, loved all the rainbows we found......
So the car had a good run out and we had a lovely day seeing all the lambs etc. Pity Little Soldier missed it ...... have to go back another day maybe ....
