The Cotswolds is an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) in the south of England. It’s full of typically English picturesque villages. How picturesque? See for yourself. I took these photos last weekend, when Damjan, Maja, Kreso and I rented a car to go dancing and exploring.
Burford is a beautiful English village, which has been taken over by tourist-loaded cars.
If you can’t get to London to see the real thing, Burford School comes to the rescue! It’s kind of like Microsoft Office: Student Edition.
Burford has a few strange things. There are green crosses like these on many of the walls…
And giant green ‘salt’ boxes on the sidewalks.
A pot plant.
The people living in this house must not have been into pot plants.
Like the good souls that we are, we immediately walked towards the church.
There are a lot of churches in England. They’re often the most beautiful buildings.
I like taking photos in graveyards here in England. There’s lots of moss.
We trespassed on private property. This, in England, is called ‘rambling’. It’s a national past-time.
Rambling is muddy business. Damjan and Kreso found a large stick to scrape off the clods of mud. Can you tell Damjan likes to dance?
Is the giant salt box public salt for making pavements less slippery when it snows?
That looks like someone’s phone number at the end of your post, Joan! Hehe.
Hmm, yes indeed. That was a bit strange. Here’s the original comment, minus the nummbers.

Hey, that sounds plausible.
I wonder if there are any environmental problems about putting salt on pavements? It must wash away into streams eventually. I wonder if it hurts the fish and plants and bugs?
