Brimscombe and the canal.

I'm wanting to explore more local places to where I live as so many people say how picturesque the Cotswolds are.

Today was a lovely outing and met my lovely friend Claire. 

On Claire's recommendation we went to a place called Brimscombe which is just past Stroud.

Not only does it have an amazing, sorry scrub that an INCREDIBLE bookshop run by the Cotswold Canal Trust.

I didn't even see all the books in there and we were there an hour!

Claire bought a whole collection of books, including a variety of books based on Scotland.  

I was so chuffed to get 5 books from MC Beaton that I am collecting and another fiction book based in Cotswolds. 

Before we headed for a walk along the canal I used the ladies.  How cool is it to find these two pictures on the wall.

So we had a stroll with Claire's dogs down the canal. 

I got to walk Arcbie who was super cute and wow so light compared to Luna!

Then it was time for the café.  

They had some beautiful paintings aswell. 

Obviously I took my knitting too! 

After having our refreshments Claire headed off, but I decided to carry on and explore more of the canal. 

There was some great graffiti along the way too. 

I loved the sheep one! 

I was amazed how deep down the water is in a canal. 

I then walked back on the road and came across the most amazing bus stop. 

Isn't it the most amazing place to have painted seats, paintings while you wait for the bus. 

We'll be back as we picked up a loyalty card for the cafe!!
