Little Wandering Wren …. chats!

Would you like to take a little wander with me  in the picturesque West Oxfordshire Cotswold village of Clanfield? You know you're home in England when the local Inn is called The Plough... The Cotswold Plough Inn and Restaurant Spring is a lovely time to visit this pretty village.  The daffodils are adding a cheery burst of colour against the Cotswold stone wall Every house has a certain charm, even on a grey day... Blakes Kitchen in the old Post Office has done wonders for village life. It used to be that you would stay home and invite your friends around for a nice cup of tea. Why we always say ' would you like to come round for a nice cup of tea '? I'll never know.

They even have a micro-bakery With lots of Easter Hot X Buns of course... oo
