Cherie's Place » Henry http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:45:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Malmesbury – Day Four http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2016/05/24/malmesbury-day-four/ http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2016/05/24/malmesbury-day-four/#comments Tue, 24 May 2016 22:10:39 +0000 CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=17145 The Old Bell Garden

After breakfast we checked out of the hotel where we payed the release fee so that the room bear could come home with us. He was named after the room we stayed in (Henry Hanks). We then made our way to the market town, Stow-on-the-Wold where we had a quiet hour mooching around the shops.

Hanbury Hall

When we had finished we continued on our journey, stopping at Hanbury Hall for lunch and the gardens. The lunch was delicious and the gardens were challenging. The recent heavy rain falls had made some of the routes impossible and some creative thinking to navigate our way around the garden.

We set off on our journey later than we intended, partly due to the inclement weather. Along the way we spotted an ideal cafe for lunch, but the mornings downpour had turned the parking area into a field of mud! This meant we had to abandon the idea of lunch there, it also involved some off-road driving, across a field in order to get back to the main road.

We continued on our journey and ended up at the National Trust property Snowshill Manor for lunch. The cafe had a nice ambiance and the food was delicious. By the time we had finished eating it had stopped raining, allowing me to take pictures of the garden before entering the house. I found Snowshill Manor with its eclectic collections quite fascinating.

The Old Bell

After visiting the Manor we made our way to Malmesbury and The Old Bell where we were staying for the weekend. When we entered the room we found that there was a rather unhappy looking bear in residence…

A Room with a Bear

Mr C suprised me by producing a bottle of Lustau Sherry from his packing case. We enjoyed a glass whilst we got ready to dine in the hotel restaurant. The food was delicious and we had a nice relaxing evening.

Dinner for Two :-)

Spot the stowaway making sure he didn’t get left behind after my recent visit to Kent.   Some of you might remember he is a rescued “Room Bear”.

I bet you are wondering about Henry?  Well he was waiting in the room when I arrived, he was a bit lonely and didn’t like being a ‘Room Bear’ so I campaigned for his release ;-)   He is sitting right behind me as I type :-)

That’s all for now I have to go sort through the photos I took, all 278 of them!!!  So watch this space for more details on the places I visited.
