Flaxley Abbey is a former Cistercian monastery, now a private residence, in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. It was also the historical home of the Crawley-Boevey Baronets. Flaxley Abbey was founded in 1148 by Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford. It was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536-37 and its lands and manor were granted to Sir William Kingston. King Henry III gave a grant to Flaxley Abbey to the woods, called Abbot's Woods in 1227.

Here are the 5 best tips for visiting Highclere Castle every traveler needs to know! Where you should stay and the best tours to book!
Going to two completely different places, made it really hard not to compare the two against each other. Especially when I had one day that really stood out! My absolute favorite part of London was Abbey Road and then our trip to Notting Hill. Both of these were done on our last full day (Tuesday) and even with the little bit of rain we got to see a lot on our walks! This is me walking across the Abbey Road/Beatles, Crosswalk! You know I had to also take a pic of A and all of the other tourists that were experiencing it with us, lol. I think it would have been soooo cool to go with a group of four or five and get the complete effect with people I knew like those three guys did! I couldn't leave without getting a few more images of the surrounding area. Then we headed off to a cafe, Ottolenghi that Aaron had found for us to try. I had already stopped and gotten a Peppermint Mocha, heaven! So I didn't try the coffee, but I got to try a piece of cake!!! The cafe/bakery had one long table just down the stairs if patrons wanted to stay and enjoy their food. Since we can't not eat cake when it's put in front of us, of course we took a seat. There was a family and an elderly lady with them, but apparently not with them. She was very vocal and we were so surprised when they left without her! I was still trying to get the hang of public restrooms. Most places didn't look big enough to have them and they certainly weren't visible like here in the states. When I asked at Ottolenghi they told me to take take a right at the corner and there'd be one. We almost didn't find it because we really didn't know what we were looking for, but then just as we were at the end of the road we saw it. Much like what a park or beach would have as bathrooms, except you had to use 20 pence to open the door in a sit down toilet. I didn't have that coin and one of the coins I had was too big for the slot!!! Luckily someone, probably an irritated American, had broken off the mechanism and I was still able to go. Then we turned another corner and happened upon a Portobello Market that A claimed I had asked him about the day before while I was reading the Call Series, but that was Camden market. I still found MOST of my souvenirs at this market, so I'm glad we randomly found it. From what I could tell online they have a lot more going on if you go on the weekend, but we were there on a Tuesday and it was perfect! The last place we traveled to on our time in West London (I hope that's right, I Google'd it) was Kensington Palace!!! Yes, I have seen the Will and Kate movie and maybe another one, so getting to see where they live and the Princess Diana memorial was sooo unbelievable. We also ended up walking down a road that you weren't allowed to take pictures of and it appeared to be all of the embassies. Pretty cool stuff. On our very last day we didn't want to be at the airport too early, so after we ate breakfast we found a park to walk through and OMG I couldn't believe I had wanted to find the Book Benches!! I'm so thankful I was able to see them. Truth, they were totally more comfortable than the other benches in the park. Of course, I will share the other days with you, but I thought I should share my favorite day in London first!

While Tom set off to today, I was free to head out and explore the cobbled streets of Bath. Our apartment was near Great Pulteney Street, an impressive street that's over 1000 feet long and 100 feet wide with a fountain at one end. I passed by A.H. Hale, an old fashioned chemist with really cool window displays including a Kodak window. The gigantic Bath Abbey sits imposingly in the middle of the city, covered in carvings and gargoyles. One of the carvings was of a ladder with angels clim...

He said that “No poem of mine was composed under circumstances more
