Engaged! May 22nd

By this little gate, I got engaged!

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." -Jane Austen

This entire day was specially crafted by my betrothed to be a Jane Austen/"Pride and Prejudice" kind of day. First, Blenheim Palace that served as Mr. Darcy's Pemberley; then the Cotswolds that served as Lizzy Bennett. "P&P" is one of my favorite novels.

At Burton-on-the-Water, we strolled along this little foot trail (on the right and along a shallow creek) with sheep gates. Sheep gates are meant to allow only pedestrians through and nothing else, including bikes and sheep.


From the trail, we saw sheep frollicking in the distance, if sheep can frollick that is. OK, maybe they were just busy snacking on the fresh grass.

Yes, this was a very special day!
