Pinswell walk

We went for a walk to Upper Coberley and headed through Mercomb Wood to Pinswell.  This is where we used to go riding. We found the quaint little cottage we remember tucked away near the woods - its garden full of snow drops.

2nd day of spring

Spent the morning tidying the garden and in the afternoon cycled around Cockleford - a lovely early spring day.

Weekend

William was home for the weekend which was great. Saturday was spent model making for a structural project which he needed to work on.  On Sunday we had a fine walk over Painswick Beacon and a delicious Sunday lunch at the Royal William.   It was just a lovely weekend.

Muddy

A tough and very muddy Sunday morning cycle ride up and over Leckhampton.  Great fun.

Churchdown cycle

Jerry and Tim spent the afternoon on a restful cycle ride around Churchdown and past the airport using, what were for Tim, new cycle paths. The long pull up to Churchdown Church is worth the effort as it sits on top of a hill that rises out of the Severn Vale and commands great views towards Cheltenham and beyond.

Birdlip woods

A relaxing walk through the woods near Birdip.  The low afternoon sun casting long shadows across the rust coloured beech leaf mould on the ground. The snow drops were in bloom.

Back home

Will and his buddy Ross returned to the UK after visiting their friend Marco in the French Alps. 

He clearly had a great time.
