Malvern Hills (with Roger): Friday, 30th November, 2018.

Roger - Mr Intrepid to his friends - tries to convince the 

photographer that the top of The Worcestershire Beacon isn't much further.

Photographer takes another deep breath and plods on.

Looking across Worcestershire to the North West and Shropshire.

Taking yet another pause for breath and looking south east whilst doing so.

Chap and faithful companion gaze down at Malvern 

from the top (or thereabouts) of The Worcestershire Beacon.

Going back down and looking to the south.

Have we ever mentioned how much we enjoy the walk back down?

Almost back down to the car park and this is the view towards Wales.

Olde-fella cheerfully awaiting the arrival of a cheese 

sammidge in granary bread and a bowl of ham & pea soup.

And very good it was too. 

The Pheasant, Neenton: Tuesday, 20th November, 2018.

Vicky, Glenys and John.

Warm and cosy.

With Auntie Louise, Erdington: Sunday, 18th November, 2018.

Auntie Louise has been knitting Vicky another scarf and hat.

Finished just in time for winter. Lovely.

River boats, Worcester: Thursday, 15th November, 2018.

Spot the boat that's only recently sunk.

This one's still going strong.

And off it chugs to Stourport.

Curtis Stigers, Huntingdon Hall, Worcester: Tuesday, 6th November, 2018.

The stage is set.

Ivories ready to be tinkled.

Pure sax.

The final night of the current tour comes to a close.

Fourth time we have seen him over the 

years and it's always a pleasure.

Biscuits: Sunday, 4th November, 2018.

No long Sunday walk today as Vicky has done her sciatic nerve.

Just a short walk and then the creation of some 

scrummy Almond and Pistachio biscuits.

Oooh look. There's at least a dozen and a half.

These might last 'til Tuesday. Wednesday tops.

The Malverns again (with Roger): Friday, 2nd November, 2018.

Two Fridays on the trot and today is even lovelier than last Friday.

Looking over Herefordshire towards Wales.

Still some climbing (puff) to do before we 

reach (pant) the summit of The Worcestershire Beacon.

Looking over Malvern towards Worcester to the north.

Over the hill (these are the jokes folks).

This is the bit I love the best.

Going back down again.
