ENGLAND 1

SATURDAY 6th JULY, 2019

Since arriving in England the weather has been glorious, albeit a bit late but better late than never!

THURSDAY and FRIDAY we spent on a mini tour, visiting Symonds Yat for a magnificent view of the Wye River and valley,

then into the Cotdswolds

followed by a visit to the Thames/Severn Canal & Tunnel we investigated after seeing a sign leading to it, sadly it is in disrepair but an interesting side trip

and finally, Bath.

Our previous visits to the aforementioned have been in the autumn or spring when the crowds were minimal.  This time there were hundreds of tourists out and about and parking was a premium, particularly in the smaller villages so we were pleased we had been before and disppointment was lessened.

After leaving Bath, we spent the best part of some time crawling along on the motorways M4 and M5. due to heavy traffic on both so were pleased to eventually arrive back in Somerset and a delicious meal of coriander chicken cooked by Mike M.

Today has been another lazy day, doing very little and tonight we will have our farewell dinner with Marion and Mike, tomorrow we'll drive to London for our last couple of nights in England.
