Our Home for One Week...A Quaint Little Town called Malmesbury

 Malmesbury is a limestone medieval town of intimate beauty that is located on a hill and about two hours west of London.
 Alexandra is standing by the River Avon.  You can see our place in the background to the left.
We attended church at the Malmesbury Abbey, now known as St. Paul's Anglican Church.  The current church was  constructed in 1150 A.D. and replaced the original abbey which was built around 800 A.D.
\This photo was taken from our balcony and is a view of our neighbor's home which is behind the mill. 
 As you can see, there's much potential for Chuck to bump his head on our living-room/dining room ceiling.
"If I bump my head one more time I'm going to scream!"  Thankfully, he didn't bother to carry out the threat; for if he had, the police would have been knocking on our door, for sure.
Alexandra standing outside of our Malmesbury home.  Yes...this is the road you see, about 4" from her feet.  She was not allowed to go outside and play...no kidding.

  1. Oh, what a lovely place! It looks so quaint and British. I guess Chuck didn't inquire as to the height of the ceilings when he booked....or did you book it? Hope he doesn't bruise his head to badly.
