Oh the Hedgerows on the way to our first nights stop in England. If we weren’t anxious to arrive at our destination after being up for over 20 hours I would have yelled stop a few times to try to capture the narrow lanes lined in green.

We were so happy to finally turn the right corner and see our B & B in front of us.

The Malthouse B & B is located in the small village of Alton in the Staffordshire county of England.

We had rooms 8 & 9 in the Stables. Our room had the Hobbit window.

Josh and Laura experienced their first traditional fried English breakfast.

For our dinner in Alton we chose The Bullshead Inn. It was a great improvement over the first pub meal we had.

Our hosts at The Malthouse were very helpful and gracious. We would recommend this as a fine spot to rest your heads as you investigate the area.

We are still in a rainy pattern here in the Northwest. How has October begun for you?
