Vicky in Worcester, David up The Malverns with Roger: Wednesday, 30th October, 2019.

The Racecourse from Sabrina Bridge.
Chap feeding the swans.
Chap beginning to realise he needs a bigger bag.
Fountains? Wot fountains?
Not only the swans are hungry.
Swans and pigeons on 'the riverbank'.
The River is normally well beyond the trees
(and much lower, obviously).
Meanwhile, two olde codgers have made it up to 
The Worcestershire Beacon where it is 
a 'bit chilly' thanks to the easterly wind.
We need more caps and hoods Rog.
The view east.
The silver line just below the horizon is The River Severn in flood.
Looking northwards and Worcester is only just visible.
Looking south and heading back 
down under some hazy sunshine.
The view to the west.
No sign of Wales today. Just Herefordshire.

River will peak today, Worcester: Tuesday, 29th October, 2019.

The river is about 400 metres away across the 
The Moors Playing Field and The Racecourse.
 There's always one.
You'd think they'd read the sign before parking.
The racecourse from Croft Road.
Another harsh lesson for somebody
(this doesn't appear to be river water - blocked drain, possibly).
Meeting up with John and Sybil.
Even kayakers'd struggle to get 
under Bridge Street at the moment.
The swans are chilled.
Outside Worcester's Palace Of Unaffordable Dreams.
Nice to window shop tho'.
They do a 1300cc V Twin. Blimey.
Said goodbye to John and Sybil and we are now 
in Gheluvelt Park where some little b*gg*rs 
are thriving in the rotting wood of one of the parks footbridges.
The Park's brook is backed-up by the river and at a complete standstill.
Back the way we came then.

Out with the old, in with the new, Worcester: Friday, 25th October, 2019.

The old (sob).
It's been an excellent servant.

Fingers crossed it'll be just as good.

Taking a photo of someone taking a photo.

The Davids.
Outside the tea room-place again.
Vicky, David and Eleanor in Eardisland.
The sun's shining.
Quick. Take a photo.

pleasant spot but from a different angle.
Eardisland from that very pleasant spot.
Splendid action shot of Eleanor crossing the road.
