Gloucester Docks, Saturday, 28th July, 2012.

It's yet another lovely summer's day (there's a cooling breeze today - which is nice) so we've made the short and quick drive down to Gloucester for a look around the re-developed docks.

Well, we say 'quick drive' but the M5 is closed at Cheltenham due to an accident so we come off at Tewksbury and use the A38. It's a bit slower but the scenery is much nicer.
Howard taking things easy and enjoying the vibe.
Hard work? Oh yes, we can stand here and watch it for hours.
Scottish owners?

We know what you're thinking but, no, we didn't venture inside. The Food Police were everywhere. We had a nice pot of tea each to wash down our toasted panini at a far more healthy establishment (absolutely). 
Olde quayside crane (bet it didn't look that good when in use) stands guard over warehouses converted into offices and apartments (you know the sort of thing).
Main canal boat basin.
Different view of same basin with 'Britain In Bloom' (or some such) award winning flower displays.
A chap nearly as olde as The Docks but, crucially, not quite.
