Okay, so one last post about the Cotswolds, and then it will be back to normal around here. 🙂 I promise. 🙂
While we were staying in Snowshill, we went 2 miles down the road to the town of Broadway and it was the cutest little village and had a shop called the Broadway Deli that I just had to tell you about.
Oh how I wish we had places like this in the United States!!!
A little cart of produce out front, canned goods, baked goods, a little more produce and a deli inside. What’s not to LOVE?
If I lived in this town I’d shop here as much as possible.
I’d probably even try and get a job delivering orders on that bike!! Or at the very least see if I could borrow it to take Lucy for rides like a little ET.
I also snapped a few more pictures around town. The color of the Cotswold stone is so beautiful. It makes all the topiaries and hedges pop.
And the bunting!! It’s just like the movies and all those British shoes we all love.
Another thing I noticed was the windows. None of them have screens on them. NONE. Why is this? Not even the newer buildings. Does anyone know why?
And this wisteria. Holy cannoli people. Look at the trunk. I wonder how old this wisteria is. Have you ever seen anything like it?
I suppose it’s no big deal to the people who live nearby in homes that are 300-500 years old. 🙂
So if you ever make it to the Cotswolds, be sure and visit the town of Broadway and the Broadway Deli. You’ll be so glad you did!
Have a good one,

I love all your travel posts. I live vicariously through you on your travels. I wish we had stores like this in the United States too. I did a little research on the lack of screens. It reminds me of my friends home in Pismo Beach California. She keeps her doors open all the time in summer and there are no flies or mosquitoes. Here is what I found out from the research on why there are no screen on the windows in the Cotswolds. Screens just aren’t necessary or desirable in most Cotswold homes due to the cool climate, minimal insects, historical preservation, and aesthetic values.

I lived in Western Europe for over a decade (France and the Netherlands). Windows there don’t have screens. I have no idea why.

15.95 per kilo for garlic. So that’s about $21.50 for 2.2 lbs. I’ve regrown my own garlic for years so have no idea of the price but that seems like a lot. Don’t get me wrong cause I would buy it without complaint if I needed it. Love all the tours and thanks for the link to your You tube. That was a fun cup of coffee.
