Tewksbury, Saturday, 8th March, 2014.

With a good weather forecast for today we've driven down the M5 to Tewkesbury to see what it looks like when it's not on the telly 'cos it's under flood from the Severn and Avon (the confluence is just outside the town centre - so it's not surprising it floods).
Here, Vicky is stood in the grounds of the Abbey on land that was surrounded by water just a couple of weeks or so ago.
Big olde gnarly tree.
Big olde gnarly tree and fairly big olde Abbey in context.
Stand there Dave, and look interesting.
Oh well, it'll have to do.
Inside the Abbey.
Lighting a candle for the gone but not forgotten.
On a bridge not above either the Severn or the Avon. Rather this is The Mill Avon. 
No wonder Tewkesbury floods. It's got nearly as many waterways as Birmingham.
Our second Tea Room today. 
Always a welcome respite from our wanderings and gawpings.
