My husbands Aunt, Cicely Minnie Day, was the post mistress at the Post Office in Lower Slaughter when it was situated in the house on the far right of this photo. The sign above the door denoting this fact. When she died in 1954 the post office was moved to another house in the village. As a child my husband spent happy holidays in this house when his Mother and Father visited his family there.

Sheer Bliss

I lived in lovely Lower Slaughter in 1991 along with my children's father.  How we came to live in such a beautiful place was pure luck.  We had applied for jobs in nearby Adlestrop and with the jobs came accomodation, Manor Farm Cotts.  I remember an open top mock vintage bus driving through in the summertime, usually american tourists waved on the top deck, it felt surreal.  My favourite time of day was early evening, we would stroll along the river breathing the sweet air of honeysuckle.  I was pregnant with my first child and just filled with complete peace and contentment.  Although only there for a short time I really felt that I was home.
