A very British Bank Holiday Monday

Our Bank Holiday Monday started off in a typically British way, sat in a traffic jam in the rain - with Clare and Rich and their neighbours Dan and Leanne. Things perked up when we eventually arrived in Ratley , a pretty village on the Oxfordshire/Warwickshire border, where we began a walk which took in Edge Hill where the first major battle of the Civil War was fought in 1642. The walk culminated in a visit to the Castle Inn at Edgehill, with a fantastic view from the beer garden over South Warwickshire. It was a welcome sight at the top of a pretty steep climb!
