Where was I? (Vol 7)

The stone on the buildings looks Cotswold.

Hidcote?

whereabouts? we have considered a ski trip, and are currently negotiating to buy a crumbling wreck on the italian side about 30mins from kranjska gora

My favourite resorts are Krvavec and Vogel. I've never bothered with Kranjska Gora as it looks like a one trick pony to me, one good long fast steep run and that's about it. Also, when you buy a ski pass, it covers the Julian Alps resorts in both Italy and Austria. Best one I've found on the Austrian side of the the Karavanka tunnel is Goldeck.

It's often quite pricey to fly to Ljubljana even on Queasyjet, so my top tip is to fly to Trieste or Zagreb and hire a car, as you'll likely need one anyway to make the most of using several resorts across the region. Usually we stay at a hotel in Bled (recommend Rikli Balance Hotel). Watch out for using a car hire firm which can supply cross border insurance. Even though they're all in the EU, rental companies still live in the dark ages and charge you extra for crossing borders. Also, make sure you get a car fitted with winter tyres, as it's a necessary requirement.

Right part of the UK, but not Hidcote.

Charlecote

Immediately after typing that, I thought Snowshill!

It actually looks a lot like the pond and planting in my front garden in the Cotswolds - have you been stalking me?

That would be pretty funny..... post a photo of another PH'ers front garden and see how long it takes to get recognised

Cheers I’ll take a look.

I mentioned Kranjska as it’s close to where we are trying to buy, which is just over the pass from the Soca valley. Ljub is an hour and a half.

Covered on all the rest, we usually drive from CH but if we get this house then there’s a big rethink on our rather complicated living arrangements to be had!

Another fairly easy one, I'm thinking.

Panning left is this



But the gardens might be more memorable for some human statues.

[blueg33]

I’ve never been, but there is a sculpture park at the Cotswolds Water Park, near Kemble. But that’s not close to Hidcote.

Are we saying its definitely not Hidcote? Only reason for asking is I looked up Hidcote as I'd never heard of it & that 1st picture is so similar to a picture I found of Hidcote

Looks *exactly* like the lily pond at Hidcote, (apart from the statue, which may be a temporary installation)

The statue is missing on yours

Even the photo poster got it wrong by the looks of it!!

So it could be over to Bonefish, what do you think Rob?

[blueg33]

Hidcote would have been my answer if it had not already been suggested. Its only about 20 mins from me!

My apologies, everyone. It seems at least the 2 photos I've posted acquired the wrong date and were filed in my Buscot House folder. I have no idea how that happened
Over to you, B Blues.

[Bonefish Blues]

I'm wondering if I've posted this before? Have a bash, anyway:

I think you have, so I will stay quiet

[abzmike]

Easy one to pick it up then…

Ok this one should be fairly easy so let’s add a twist… what is it? Where is it? And what is its link to 90s music?
