Frampton-on-Severn, Gloucestershire

Frampton-on-Severn is a picturesque village close to the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire. A tour around the village is like travelling back in time almost to medievil times. It sports the largest village green in the land named Rosamund's Green. Rosamund was a resident in the village centuries ago and was allegedly a mistress of King Henry VIII. It has two duckponds complete with resident swans and weeping willows. The village is almost untouched by time and a local tourist attraction with a second to none community. If you are ever ...

I think that you will find that the king who had Rosamund as a mistress was Henry II not Henry VIII! If you remember the movie "The Lion in Winter" Eleanor of Aquitaine had a few things to say about her Henry (#2) and sheep!

Hi Sonia, are you the same Sonia Sidebottom from Lever Faberge in Leeds? We can only presume you are because we remember what a fan of the digital technology you were and how interested you were in digital photography. This is Jude and Sarah-we were just on the internet doing a search for Wester Ross for Judes parents and came across your web site. It is really interesting and the pictures look so gorgeous we have forwarded them to Judes mum and dad. They are really looking forward to going there and seeing it all for real. By the way, how are all the family doing? Did you know that Jude has had a baby? He is nearly 7 months old now and absolutely gorgeous. Sarah is shortly off to Sri Lanka and the Maldives and is taking her underwater digital camera so hopefully will have some super shots for her website to upload soon. Anyway, looking forward to your next holiday pictures and keep up the good work!

I am still envious of your pictures of New Hampshire in the fall - I have even printed some off to show my friends

Hi, Sonia - These photos are excellent! They show off the English countryside as I always pictured it. Having visited Reading and London, I wanted to see more sights like this!
