The cottage we stayed at was a converted diary barn. It was near the tiniest village called Ford. Ford had about five house in it. We felt like like we were in the middle of now where. We didn't have cell phone service and no wifi in the cottage- perfect! On our drive there, the GPS kept saying turn on road or no road. That is how rural it felt. Just what we wanted and needed.
It was so beautiful on the inside and we fell in love with the place. I could have lived there!

The bridge where Kate and Will taught us how to play Pooh Sticks, which is the game where you throw a two sticks in the river and see which one comes out first from under the bridge.
