The name of the village of Lower Slaughter stems from the Old English name for a wet land 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy place) upon which it lies. This quaint village sits beside the little Eye stream and is known for it's unspoilt limestone cottages in the traditional Cotswold style.
The stream running through the village is crossed by two small bridges and the local attraction is a converted mill with original water wheel

I miss England, and I look forward to visiting again when travel is safer.
Flipped this Horseshoe Crab and it immediately made its way to the Delaware River.

In this case, a 'Slaughter' is a 'muddy place' - not that it's muddy here these days - the perfect Cotswold village!
The wonderful Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter (Slaughter comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'Slough' meaning 'Muddy Place") - where low stone bridges cross the River Eye.
FWIW, although Flickr identifies this as being in Lower Slaughter, it's actually in Upper Slaughter. And some (maybe all) of the photos on Google Maps labeled Upper Slaughter are of Lower Slaughter (the one with the mill). Confused? Well both are well worth a visit and there is a public footpath of less than a mile between them.
The village is also one of the "doubly thankful" villages from which all their then members of the armed forces survived World War I and World War II.
I started off posting this sequence of photographs, taken on a recent visit to the Cotswolds, with a photograph taken in the beautiful village of Lower Slaughter, Gloucestershire.
The image I wanted was a composition that included this Grade II listed 18th century clapper bridge, known as 'Up Stream Bridge'.
However, I seem to have arrived on a particularly busy day and there was a seemingly endless stream of visitors stopping on the bridge to take 'selfies'.
So, not being too far from where I was staying, I decided to head back later in the day and try again (an added bonus was a change in direction of the early evening sunshine).
Es uno de los muñecos del Pressing Catch con los que jugaban mis hijos cuando eran niños.
Muchas gracias por la visita.
Shame on Japan and Denmark and all other countries who are beginning their annual slaughter of whale and dolphin..
Got the courage to watch a documentary called the cove last night and it's horrific but highlights the barbaric butchering of our sea mammals.. SHAME ON YOU JAPAN AND DENMARK..
sorry for the Monday morning rant my friends..
After about a year, I slaughtered my piggy bank. I regularly sort out 2 euro coins and 1, 2 and 5 cent coins and throw them into the piggy bank. I then take the coins to the Bundesbank and get notes in return.
Just guess what I get. It was actually an amount without a decimal point!
Nach ca. einem Jahr habe ich mein Sparschwein geschlachtet. Ich sortiere regelmäßig 2 Euro-Münzen und 1, 2 und 5 Cent-Münzen aus und werfe sie ins Sparschwein. Ich bringe die Münzen dann zur Bundesbank und bekomme dafür Scheine.
Tippt doch mal, was ich bekommen habe. Es war tatsächlich ein Betrag ohne Kommastelle!
