Churchill, the end and beginning

Talking about history, this little village of Bladon was among one of several that I saw on my first day in England.  It's just a little famous for being the burial place of Sir Winston Churchill.  Most definitely one of the "ahhhhh" catch your breath and pause moments.

Really frustrated that I didn't get this pic straight

Darn wheelie bins 

Later in my trip there was a stop to take pics of Blenheim Palace near Woodstock from outside the gates (at the end of another long day so didn't tour the site--it's on my list for next time) which is of course the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill

Wish I'd researched races better before my trip, would've liked to have done this one
