After our regular coffee in Burford we headed for Stowe. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-stowegardens It was a bit cold and drizzly when we arrived but we were just in time for a quick snack before joining a lovely lady named Lillian for a tour of the garden. It is difficult to describe the beauty and extent of the garden but even on a cold and overcast day it was stunning. The "house" at Stowe is a school. Captain Cook was a friend of the owner and there was a memorial to Cook on an island in one of the lakes.
