Next week the Laundry King and I will be undertaking a mini version of Escape to the Country. We tried to secure a home exchange but ended up booking a bungalow in the Worcester countryside through AirBNB. Our key search criteria included:
- close proximity to countryside walking trails – we love a meandering footpath;
- decent kitchen facilities for self-catering;
- WIFI;
- easy driving distance to places and sights we haven’t visited before; and
- walking distance from a pub that serves real ale.
Worcester, Hereford, Ludlow, Cheltenham, Leominster, Tewkesbury and Gloucester are all on our radar but if you have any other suggestions for this vicinity of the Midlands, I would love to hear from you. Travel planning and pondering is such fun.
We also have a play-it-by-ear day/night on our way back to London that might involve Oxford, Shaftsbury or The Colourful World of Kaffe Fassett exhibition in Bath (although we have been go Bath before). In the meantime, I’ve been doing a little practice…
