Thursday 25^th April

Breakfast

The series of bread loaves now has a new third member. Working with the expiration dates, 14th and 24th now have the company of 29th. Having so much bread to manage! It keeps her occupied.

The fruit salad is offered to me. "It's quite nice". It certainly isn't nice. Only the grapes appear recognisable. The dear surfer is saved from the picture of the rotting food being posted here: I would have to set this page to an adults only rating.

The remains get fed to the birds. The robin, starlings and blackbirds all show no interest. I just hope the acidic pulp doesn't scorch the grass.

Evesham

Cooler and fresher, still we have sun.

Jolly Molly wants to go to Evesham - now that I've found reasonable access for her.

2nd floor of the Abbey Park car park: a door opens straight on to the parkland. The transition is startling - a dark cold concrete car park with the smell of petrol and exhaust. Pass through a door and your immediately in a warm bright green parkland.

She appears satisfied with the park. A couple of rolls and fizzy drink she's very happy.

"How do they make these rolls? They are crisp on the outside and soft in the middle!" Jolly Molly asks.

"They're fresh, Mother dear." I respond.

Tewksbury

Tewksbury Abbey is definitely worth a look.

Touching souls is a monument set in the Abbey grounds near the refectory that serves a good dollop of crumble and custard.

The remains of the cloisters are so finely detailed.

Taking a holiday in late April is the right time to see trees in new leaf. This Copper Beech, residing in the Abbey grounds asks to be put on the web.

The Landmark Trust have care of the Abbey Gatehouse, one of the buildings that surrounds the Abbey.
