SWIPE ➡️ Happy weekend! Hope you're having a good one. Some scenes from the very popular Cotswold town of Bourton on the Water for today's post, from a recent visit on the most gorgeous of June days! We enjoyed a delicious lunch and enjoyed a lovely circular walk around the town and surprisingly, it wasn't as busy as it usually is. We always enjoy a day out here and have been doing so for many years, since I was a child, and it's not really changed at all! 🌿🏘💦 We're heading for the coast in the morning, although the forecast is mixed, hopefully we can dodge the showers and enjoy some sea air, with plenty of nice walks. I probably won't get time to post but will be capturing some lovely scenes, returning to one of my favourite places and sharing them later. Have a great rest of the weekend and enjoy the upcoming week. Lots of love 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx ©️ 📸 @janet.comer #bourtononthewater #visitthecotswolds #cotswolds_culture #discovergloucestershire #gloucestershiregems #houses_phototrip #houses_ofthe_world #photosofbritain #photosofengland #your_cotswolds #your_beautifulhouses #explorebritain #excellent_britain #countryhouses #discoveruk #thecotswolds #exploreuk #loveengland #loveuk #thisprettyengland #glshooters #gloriousbritain #englishtown #thisisengland #explorecotswolds #total_houses #englishsummer

Walk with me along the most beautiful and colourful pathway, amongst azaleas, rhododendrons, pieris & camellias! I felt like I had been transported into an enchanted land, with a kaleidoscope of colours to see and birds singing overhead, to hear! Just heavenly! 🌺🌸🌼 We had the most lovely morning at Doddington Place, wandering through the beautiful grounds and then enjoyed a delicious lunch in the tearoom. There will be plenty more from these magical gardens coming up, so keep an eye out for future posts. Enjoy your Thursday, I can't believe it's Friday again tomorrow, this week has flown!

SWIPE ➡️ Happy Wednesday! It's my first chance to post, since we came to Kent. We're having a lovely time and have been enjoying being back here, visiting some new places and old favourites! We've been very lucky with avoiding any rain and although it's been mainly cloudy, we have had some sunshine, which was nice while we were on the coast this afternoon. I'll be sharing my photos as soon as I've sorted through them. In the meantime, here's a collection of doorways and blooms from a lovely visit to one of my favourite Warwickshire villages! Lots more from this pretty village to come too! 🌿🏠🌹 Have a lovely evening, however you're spending it!

Happy Sunday! It's been such a busy week, with several family get togethers and I haven't had time to post for a few days. Here's a collection of gorgeous cottages, from my drafts, all from the beautiful county of Hampshire. Hope you enjoy these as much as I loved finding them, Hampshire is one of my favourite counties for discovering chocolate-boxcottages! 🌿🏠🌺 We've had a lovely weekend, with a family birthday party and today, a delicious Sunday roast, together! Hope your weekend has been a good one, too! 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx ©️ 📸 @janet.comer #hampshirecottage #cottageroses #houses_phototrip #thatchedcottage #visithampshire #loveengland #lovehampshire #hampshirevillage #quaintcottage #hampshirelife #igershampshire #countrycottage #cosycottage #your_beautifulhouses #yourbritain #photosofbritain #prettyvillage #gorgeouscottages #lovelyengland #cottagegardens #summerscenes #explore_britain #hampshirelivingmagazine

For this week's 'Tuesday Treats' I've a collection of scenes from several visits to beautiful Bath, which I always find a real treat! One of my favourite views is of the magnificent weir, the architecture surrounding it is so beautiful, especially in the golden hour! Another favourite is the Pulteney Bridge which spans the River Avon just above the weir and from the windows of the little shops and tearooms you get a wonderful view. This iconic bridge was designed with the famous Ponte Vecchio, of Florence, Italy, in mind and is one of only 4 bridges in the world to house shops fully across it on both sides! As well as the Cathedral, the Pump Room and the Roman Baths, you'll also see the famous Sally Lunn's Historic Eating House in this set. One of the oldest houses in the city, this wonderful eatery is home of the original Bath bun. You can see a close up of them in the window in photo 6, they are very big buns! They also serve 'Trencher' bread dishes for dinner, a similar sized round bun with a tasty pie filling. Apparently this type of bread was used to serve meals in, before plates were invented in the 1500's. The bread soaks up the flavour of the meal and I can tell you it is absolutely delicious. A wander around this beautiful city, is such a delight, admiring the mellow Cotswold stone of the gorgeous Georgian architecture. Hope you've enjoyed this wander with me 🏘🏛💦 Have a great evening 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx 📸 @janet.comer #bathuk #cityofbath #pulteneybridge #visitbath #cotswolds_culture #photosofbritain #bathcity #bathlife #riveravon #uktravel #lovebath #igersbath #beautifularchitecture #loveforsomerset #travelworld_addiction #bathengland #somersetlife #discoverbath #georgianarchitecture #thebest_windowsdoors #loveengland #discovercotswolds #visitthecotswolds #beautifulcities #visitsomerset #houses_phototrip #bathengland #beautifularchitecture #divine_worldplaces #bathsomerset

Happy Monday and another new week! A little video for today's post from my memories of a trip to Somerset in early Spring. This was the sleepy village of Winsford in Somerset, a delightful spot, full of pretty, pastel coloured cottages. There was hardly anyone around as we wandered through it, listening to the babbling water of the River Exe crossing the lane with daffodils dancing in the breeze and birds singing in the trees 🌿🏠💦 Finally the sun has shown its face, today after what seems likes weeks of grey gloom, let's hope it's going to stick around for a while. Have a lovely evening 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx 📸 @janet.comer #visitsomerset #ig_estradas #countrylane #somersetlife #houses_phototrip #somersetvillage #country_features #springscene #storybookcottage #countryvillage #ukshots #photosofbritain #yourcountryside #englishcountryside #your_britain #excellent_britain #explorebritain #divine_villages #babblingbrook #countrywalks #prettyvillage #raw_uk #loveforsomerset #winsford #bestukpics #thisprettyengland #anglophile #cornersofmyworld

Happy Valentine's Day! ♥️ My 'Friday Five' theme this week, obviously has to be 'Hearts and Roses'. Here are five of my favourite front doors adorned with hearts and surrounded by beautiful roses and flowers! 🌿🚪🌹 We have had a lovely day celebrating our Wedding Anniversary, today. The afternoon tea was delicious and the perfect way to spend our special day! I'll post some photos of it in my stories. Thanks so much for all the lovely messages, yesterday, I really do appreciate them all! Hope you're having a lovely Valentine's Day too, keep cosy and lots of love 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx ©️ 📸 @janet.comer #prettydoors #frontdoordecor #climbingredroses #cottagelove #houses_phototrip #your_beautifulhouses #thecottagejournal #cosycottage #anglophile #adooringfeatures #photosofbritain #cottagegardens #loveengland #welovebeautifulshots #charminghouses #lovelycottage #your_britain #beautifulengland #climbingrose #thebest_windowsdoors #doortraits #frontdoorwreath #anglophile #kings_doorsandco #prettydoorsofbritain

Happy Thursday! It's still very grey, gloomy and cold here, so here are some colourful rows of cottages, from my drafts, to brighten things up! My eyes always light up when I spot a row of buildings painted in different colours, especially pastel shades! I long to see some colour again in the garden, it's looking so drab at the moment. Hopefully it won't be long until daffodils are dancing away in the borders and blossom is swaying on the trees! 🌿🏘🌈 It will be our wedding anniversary tomorrow, yes, on Valentine's Day, the true romantics we are 🥰 We're off for an afternoon tea to celebrate, I'll try and share some photos of it in my stories when we return. Hope you have a good evening, keep warm and cosy on this miserable Thursday! 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx ©️ 📸 @janet.comer #rowofcottages #colourfulcottage #cottagerow #colourfulbuildings #colouredhouses #coloredhouses #houses_phototrip #your_beautifulhouses #explorebritain #exploreengland #travelworld_addiction #photosofbritain #colourfulstreets #ok_streets #ig_estradas #fortheloveoflanes #streetart_addiction #weloveengland #loveengland #beautifulbritain #historicengland #loveuk #divine_villages #awesome_phototrip #villagecottage #exploringengland

It's another 'Tuesday Treat' and a collection of photos I haven't shared yet in my gallery, which I took whilst wandering around pretty Painswick, during November last year. As you travel down towards the south of the Cotswolds, the stone turns from a warmer honey-colour, to a paler tone, which makes the Georgian architecture look so elegant. The earliest building in the town dates back to the 11th century when it was called Wyke and Lord of the Manor at that time was Pain Fitzjohn and the town soon became known as Pain's Wyke, which we now know as Painswick. I love to wander through the little lanes and around the elegant streets, which are very popular as a period film location. This peaceful town, with its beautiful buildings made from mellow Cotswold stone, is a delight to visit. The beautiful Norman church of St Mary, in the heart of Painswick, has 99 yew trees in its churchyard, a sight to be seen, as are the stunning views of the Gloucestershire countryside surrounding this pretty town. It is always a 'treat' to spend some time here! 🌿🏘🍂 Another very dreary day, here, I'm longing for the sun to shine again. Have a nice evening 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx ©️ 📸 @janet.comer #painswick #georgiantown #cotswolds_culture #your_beautifulhouses #your_cotswolds #houses_phototrip #photosofbritain #loveengland #englishtown #cotswoldtown #ig_estradas #lovelylane #countrylane #visitgloucestershire #cotswoldstone #georgianarchitecture #filminglocation #englandsbigpicture #visitthecotswolds #glshooters #exploreengland #villagescenes #prettycotswolds #discovercotswolds #discovergloucestershire #countrytown #anglophile #travelworld_addiction

Happy Sunday! What a dreary, cold and miserable one it's been here today! Thinking back to a lovely wander around the picturesque town of Christchurch in Dorset, back in October, with this post. This town dates back to the 7th century, where the rivers Stour and Avon meet, around the grounds of Christchurch Priory. You can see the ruins of the towns castle in photo 8 and in the first photo, you can see the Constable's House with a rare example of a Norman chimney, one of only five in the country! It's a delightful place to stroll along the waterside into the quaint town centre, we love it here 🌿🏠💦 No blue sky on the cards for the next few days, unfortunately. The wind is getting up this evening, so we're cosily inside awaiting our roast dinner to be ready! Hope you've had a good day and enjoy your Sunday evening, hasn't the weekend just flown by again! 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx ©️ 📸 @janet.comer #christchurchdorset #photosofbritain #excellent_britain #visitdorset #anglophile #riveravon #divine_villages #prettystreets #englishvillage #houses_phototrip #beautifuldestinations #thebest_windowsdoors #your_beautifulhouses #your_britain #loveengland #divine_villages #idyllicplace #lovedorset #explorebritain #explore_waterways #ig_estradas #riversidewalk #riversidetown

It's that time again, 'Friday Five' time and my theme this week is 'Crooked Houses'. I'm always delighted to come across a wonky cottage or shop when out and about and find it hard to believe they have stood the there for so long without falling over! So much history in these half-timbered buildings, if only walls could talk, what tales they would tell! There's a bonus sixth photo, as I couldn't choose which one to leave out 🌿🏠🪵 Another busy week has gone by, I can't believe it's the weekend again already! It's been a very cold day today and snow is forecast for this evening. Have a cosy one and keep warm 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx 📸 @janet.comer #crookedhouse #wonkyhouse #halftimberedhouse #colourfulhouses #quaintvillage #photosofbritain #houses_phototrip #houses_ofthe_world #your_beautifulhouses #thebest_windowsdoors #quainthouse #quaintcottage #ig_estradas #prettystreets #discoverengland #loveengland #loveuk #anglophile #yourbritain #exploringengland #world_doorsandwindows #streets_and_transports #alluring_villages

Happy Tuesday! It's been such a grey, gloomy day here today, I've chosen a theme for my 'Tuesday Treats' which is simply 'Yellow' 💛 , my favourite colour and always cheery! These are some of my favourite photos, cottages, places and flowers, the roses and primroses are from my garden. Once again, some new, some old, but all making me yearn for colour in our gardens and hedgerows again! Hope you enjoy them, I've taken advantage of being able to put 20 shots in my carousel which has only just become available to me, hope you manage to get to the end, the last one is one of my favourites 💛🏠🌼 Have a nice evening 🙋🏼‍♀️ xx ©️ 📸 @janet.comer #yellowcottage #springflower #allthingsyellow #yellowhouse #prettyhouse #your_beautifulhouses #houses_phototrip #be_one_houses #photosofbritain #prettyplaces #yellowroses #divine_villages #thecolouryellow #colourfulhouses #prettyscenes #countryhomes #yellowflower #yellowtheme #shadesofyellow
