We've had a steady day so far, what with the showery rain and what-not.
It actually snowed on this day 29 years ago, so we shouldn't complain.
So we have some breakfast (fruit and yoghurt for Vicky, muesli with extra fruit and nuts for David), suffer rear tyre problems with Sam, have some lunch (David's signature turkey bacon, mushroom 'n' egg sammidge - no egg for Vicky), and then watch Jorge's triumph at Jerez.
By which time the weather is much improved.
It's now just before 3 and we've driven to Suckley for a Holloways afternoon tea.
Vicky has a scone with jam washed down with darjeeling tea……..
…..whilst the gannet doesn't.
He chooses the treacle tart and cream washed down with decaffeinated tea option.
We drive back to Worcester via an alternative route which is even more scenic and hilly than the way we usually drive. It also takes twice as long. The lanes are very narrow and there's nowhere safe/sensible to stop and take photos, which is a shame, but there you go.
After an evening meal (grilled turkey steaks, grilled veggos, wholegrain basmati rice, with a tomato, onion and balsamic vinegar salad, and fresh oranges for dessert) we go down to the river to walk all those carbs off.
Just after we took this photo a Greater Spotted Woodpecker flew into those trees on the left and started banging away at the trunk. But you'll have to take our word for it as it was too high up in the branches to get a photo by the time we worked out where it was. That's the trouble with spring: too many leaves. It eventually flew back over to the 'quieter' side of the river.
Yay! Yet another selfie - you can never have too many selfies on a blog.
Rain clouds and the beginning of a rainbow over the city tell us it's time to head back home before the weather turns once more.
As we take a stroll home along the river a family of mute swans stroll up the river.
All-in-all, a pretty good day then.
