Bibury and Fairford - 3rd Feb 2014

I head out, with my sister, to the Cotswolds. The rivers are full and look to still be rising.

In Bibury, the river is flowing fast and high.

It's a grey day but Bibury is a very picturesque village

Little lambs already?

 Back on the road, we turn a bend to see lots of Red Kites and Buzzards circling overhead. We think they are after some road-kill.

Opportunistic Magpie

 It turned out to be another bird of prey that was being eaten.

Its a grey windy day

We're heading for Fairford

RIP Tiddles

The Church at Fairford has the most complete set of medieval church windows in the country.  I didn't take many pictures of them. They have lots of colourful demons.

... and some wonderful engravings

An excellent literal imagining of Christ ascending into heaven. Can you see his feet?

Thanks for the day trip, sis.
