'Trick' Or 'Treat'
Last week at 7pm, on a dark and dank evening, I put on my wellies and my warmest coat and ventured to Over Farm. I was on my way to the South Wests' largest Halloween festival, 'FrightMare' which for someone who easily scares, was brave!
I had visited Over Farm before, for a walk around the farm and a rummage in their market shop, but never had I seen it looking like this. The farm had been transformed into a Halloween extravaganza, with more homegrown pumpkins than you have ever seen. But this wasn't a friendly affair, and you soon realised when beyond the pumpkins appeared the sadistic clowns, the zombies and the frightened faces.
Stepping out of Burfords' high street hustle and bustle and stumbling across The Angel, will be the best thing you do when visiting this gorgeous, Cotswold hot spot. The Angel has got the balance just right. Husband and wife owners, Gemma and Terrance, have kept the Cotswold character of a local pub which attracts locals, drinkers and tourists alike, whilst refusing to compromise on their passion for great food.
Usually when we mention tonic it's of the gin variety. This time... there was no alcohol involved. In fact, quite the opposite. After a seriously busy week for the both of us we headed to Cheltenham for some TLC in the form of massages and facials at new beauty salon, Tonic.
