DH and I nipped off to the Cotswolds last week for a last getaway while it's just the two of us.
The sun was shining, we were in our new car and we had a lovely time. We stayed in this lovely little place in Kingham (above). Amaaazing food!
We visited Blenheim Palace one day...
... and wandered through the beautiful gardens for ages.
See how hot it was? Lavendar filled the air.
Back at home I made a plum and sour cream tart for DH's picnic that we're going to this afternoon.
This is something I've made a million times, and is extremely easy so let me know if you'd like the recipe.
