The village of Southrop is quintessential Cotswolds: all meandering streams and honeyed stone, and it has a pretty church nestling between a Medieval manor and the exquisitely renovated buildings that make up Thyme.

Thyme travels

This was our first visit to India and I was nervous, I was not sure if I was going to like it.  I could not have been more wrong.

One of our most magnificent spaces is our Grade 2 listed Tithe Barn. Dating back to the early 17th century, its purpose was to serve the farm, for flail threshing and the storing of grain or pulse crops and would have been filled right up to the eaves, or even higher.

Thyme travels

Just before Christmas, I was very lucky to travel to Rajasthan as a guest of British Polo Day, visiting the beautiful cities of Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur.

The dramatic display of autumnal colours across the estate at Thyme are not the only changes that autumn has brought to our beautiful corner of the Cotswolds.
