On from Tewkesbury

Well sometimes things go according to plan and we left Gloucester on Sunday. We had a safe uneventful trip up the Severn . A bit too uneventful as we had planned to stop for lunch, but all the moorings were full. We arrived at Avon Lock to find it was shut for lunch!

Paul, Lou, Richard and St Mary's Abbey

Well we did get through and filled with water, finding a mooring and finally having lunch about 3.
Monday was a lovely day, not the least because we had visitors to lunch. Richard and Lou who are neighbours from Plymstock popped in to see us on way home from Nottingham.
We spent Tuesday looking round the Abbey and the lovely old buildings of Tewkesbury before moving on yesterday.
We spent last night at a little place called Eckington. This bridge was built over 400 years ago. Surprisingly some very large vehicles were passing over it. We thought there would have been a weight restriction.

Today, after a little less than an hour cruising we have moored at Converton, an even smaller place, for the night. Very peaceful, the only sound is birdsong.
