I can’t believe it has taken me this long to share this post with you all. I’ve been wanting to share a post on the town Joe and I live in here in England ever since we moved here over a year ago now but I have just kept putting it off. To be honest though when we first moved here our first apartment was in a not so nice area and there wasn’t much to share! Luckily we moved out of that place into the one we’re in now and there’s definitely lots more to share around here. Sometimes it’s still hard to believe that we have moved countries twice, first from Australia to America and then America to here and it’s taken me just about this one year to get adjusted to life here, it was the same in America and took me about that long to get used to life in Michigan (we lived there for 2 years).

Anyway so I convinced Joe to go to part of the Cotswolds region and for us to do a walk over there. Little did I know what I was getting us in to! So we arrived at our starting point, in a village called Broadway and the walk would take us to Broadway Tower which is the second highest point of the Cotswolds. [Read more…]
