    :sunny: I just thought I would tell you about my friends B&B.. It is a lovely place.. Very quiet with beautiful views & walks all around with the most relaxing & comfortable accommodation..
    Her cottage is at the end of a short lane on the edge of her village.. She is only 10 mins from the M4 & M5 but you wouldn't know it.. No traffic passing by or street lights.. Her garden is a wild-flower haven & is always a picture to look at.. In summer you can breakfast on your own secluded patio if you like. They are nice people & the food is good too..
    There is a nice pub in the village there if you need it..
    A good place for a base for walking, you have the Woods there & also the Cotswold way just close by.
    So if you need somewhere to stay over-night or whatever, North of Bristol & South of Gloucester give her a call.. :dbgrtmb:

              Doesn't seem all that far from where my wife's family used to farm in the early 1900's, near Dursley, until they moved to this part of the country.

              Yes Scrungee Dursley is not far from her at all.. About 10 miles I think.. Very pretty all around really.. Dursley was of course famous for the Lister Engines I believe.. Whereabouts did your family farm then.?

                  At Cam. My FIL remembers the river being coloured by the different uniforms being made/dyed for WW1 in the mills further up the valley.

                  He also was around when Slimbridge was set up.
