This year the last three
grounds were for two weeks and Minchinhampton was the first of these.
We were on the common at the
top of town and it is a really nice ground with free roaming cows and
a few free roaming horses that seemed to want to join the circus.
We were also next to the
church with its bells, which isn't as bad as it sounds. I quite like
being woken to the sound of church bells.
There is also a golf course
on the common which must be a bit of a nightmare with the cows. Not
just because of the cow pats but the cows themselves. Imagine how
hard it would be to get a ball in a hole when it is surrounded by
cows.
Even though Michinhampton is
a town it has more of a village feel to it. There aren't that many
shops but I like the ones that they have including a nice butchers
and an organic dairy. Of course if you need more Stroud and
Cirencester aren't too far away.
It is an old town with some
lovely buildings including a house that looks like a castle.
After moving on a weekly
basis, two weeks suddenly seems very long and however much you like a
place you are pleased when it is time to move on to the next one.
