Short break

Away again for a long weekend, to a place we’ve been to before….
In between Droitwich and Worcester….

Quiet when we arrived mid afternoon so I took a few snaps, and more will be added to the gallery during the stay so click the link below….

It looks lovely … like a place where I could settle down for the remainder of my days.

It’s a 16th century Inn, reportedly a meeting place for some of those who were involved in the gunpowder plot.

Nice knowing you.

Just got home after a nice break away in the Worcestershire countryside.

Yesterday I picked up a book from a charity shop, it is about this fella…records of his death and subsequent dismantling of his body are truly medieval ( see below).

Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester - Wikipedia

We always drive over a non descript modern bridge on the A44 on the way to Worcester which is named after him so I thought it prudent to do some research, should be an interesting read.

Rivers Avon and Severn quite badly flooded in places - if you click the link to the photos you'll see I've added a few snaps of the river down by the cathedral in Worcester.
Some localised flooding in the fields too.

Hopefully the ran will hold off and give the rivers and land time to recover.
