On our eighth and final day there was a pleasant surprise . Midway between Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh lies Blockley . It ’ s better known to fans of the cozy whodunnit Father Brown as the fictional village of Kembleford . Lo and behold , they were in the middle of filming , and we were all agog to see the actors parading in costume . We had one last night in Moreton-in-Marsh before parting ways .

The main takeaway ? What started out as a bunch of dots on a map slowly connected to become the bigger picture — that of a precious memory to cherish a lifetime .
