We came across Lower Slaughter just over a year ago as we drove back from a trip to Bath, and immediately fell in love with the place. It is quite simply one of the prettiest villages that I have come across. With its beautiful Cotswold stone cottages, its shallow river, old watermill and low footbridges it reminds me of Bourton on the Water, which lies just over a mile away. The River Eye (seen here) feeds into the River Windrush to the south of Bourton on the Water.
"Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare,
And left the flushed print in a poppy there:
Like a yawn of fire from the grass it came,
And the fanning wind puffed it to flapping flame.
With burnt mouth red like a lion's it drank
The blood of the sun as he slaughtered sank,
And dipped its cup in the colored shine
When the eastern conduits ran with wine".
- Francis Thompson

Grazing in Lower Slaughter.
Despite the harshness of its name the Cotswold village takes its name from the Old English term “slough” which means “wet land”.
Situated just 6.4 kilometres (4 miles) south west of Stow-on-the Wold the village has been inhabited for in excess of 1,000 years and today boasts a population of less than 300.
Whilst it is an agricultural area the village relies heavily on tourism for its financial survival.

Spent about a half an hour trying to capture some mid-day pictures here but mostly came up with junk, so I went a little minimal and liked what I got with my ND filter and some patience. I know there is nothing special about this but it was fun to play around with bad conditions.
As we were driving through the Cotswolds towards Stow-on-the-Wold on our way home from Bath in January 2017 we came across a sign pointing to "The Slaughters", and decided to investigate. The improbably named Lower Slaughter is quite simply one of the prettiest villages that I have come across. With its beautiful Cotswold stone cottages, its shallow river, old watermill and low footbridges it reminds me of Bourton on the Water, which lies just over a mile away. The River Eye (seen here) feeds into the River Windrush to the south of Bourton on the Water.

Greenpeace Brazil — Just as protecting the world’s forests is rapidly becoming a recognized necessity for fighting climate change, we have discovered that major fashion, food and sports brand names are unwittingly driving the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.
The cattle industry is the largest source of deforestation in the world and Brazil’s main source of CO2 emissions. The new Greenpeace report Slaughtering the Amazon tracks beef, leather and other cattle products from ranches involved in illegal deforestation, invasion of indigenous lands and slavery in Brazil back to the supply chains of top brands such as Adidas/Reebok, Timberland, Geox, Carrefour, Eurostar, Honda, Gucci, IKEA, Kraft, Clarks, Nike, Tesco and Wal-Mart.
Un paio di scarpe Geox, Adidas, Timberland o Clarks, un divano di pelle Chateaux d’ax o Ikea, un piatto di carne Simmenthal o Montana possono avere un’impronta devastante sull’ultimo polmone del mondo. Dopo tre anni di indagine, oggi pubblichiamo l’inchiesta scandalo “Amazzonia, che macello!”. Abbiamo scoperto che la foresta amazzonica viene distrutta per far spazio agli allevamenti illegali di bovini. E la carne e la pelle che ne derivano contaminano le filiere internazionali dell’alimentare, dell’arredamento, della moda e delle scarpe. Le prove raccolte dimostrano, infatti, che i giganti del mercato della carne e della pelle brasiliani - Bertin, JBS, Marfrig - vengono regolarmente riforniti da allevamenti che hanno tagliato a raso la foresta ben oltre i limiti consentiti dalla legge. Le materie prime, frutto di crimini forestali, ‘sporcano’ le filiere produttive di tantissimi marchi globali e distributori. Tra questi: Adidas, BMW, Geox, Chateau d’Ax, Carrefour, EuroStar, Ford, Honda, Gucci, Ikea, Kraft, Cremonini, Nike, Tesco, Toyota, Wal-Mart.
Into the final week of summer 2024 (in the Northern Hemisphere) and recalling the time spent back in June in the Cotswolds.
Prior to getting away, the weather had been very poor with seemingly endless days of grey skies, rain and below normal temperatures. In fact, the journey down from North East England was through apocalyptic amounts of rain.
Not sure how it happened, but when we arrived, the sun was out, the skies blue and it felt warm. Best of all, it stayed that way for the whole week we were there!
Looking back now, as summer draws to a close, that week back in June was the longest prolonged period of settled summer-like weather I can recall this year.
This photograph was one of quite a few that I took in what for me, is one of the prettiest 'picture-postcard' villages in England.
Lower Slaughter, near Bourton-on-the-Water, manages that rarest of tricks in that it largely conceals it's wheelie bins and owner's cars (and in my experience, that seems quite some feat!).
Covered in this wonderful autumnal red creeper. There was a wedding nearby to the inn and it was booked out for the event, otherwise a cuppa would have been had. It looked as though there was accommodation also at the back right of the building.
Name: Pyer Eliss
Species: Human
Age: 22
Homeworld: Serenno
Faction: CR
Class: Scoundrel
Story: Pyer Eliss was the son of a wealthy Serenno Nobleman and close friend of Count Dooku. His family were seperatists during the Clone Wars, helping to fund the Confederacy's numerous military projects. Following the Seperatist defeat, Darth Vader and his Imperial army invaded Serenno, slaughtering the nobles and remaining separatists. Pyer fled, narrowly escaping, but his family were not so lucky. Overcome by grief, Pyer used his family's fortune to sell weapons to anti-empire guerilla fighters, seeking revenge on the men that killed his family and friends. Support of these early resistance movements were successful up until three weeks ago, when Pyer's main contact, former Senator Alam Sorio, went cold. Pyer now looks to find Sorio and free him, wanting to continue his fight against the Empire.
Here are two unused shots from early last year. With its beautiful Cotswold stone cottages, its shallow river, old watermill and low footbridges Lower Slaughter reminds me of Bourton on the Water, which lies just over a mile away.
