Trains, and boats and… buses

I had a day out down the Severn Valley on Saturday, in search of bucolic pleasures. It involved a bus to beautiful Bridgnorth, a vintage diesel train on the Severn Valley Line to Hampton Loade, where I transferred to a current-powered miniature ferry, a stroll through the bluebell woods to Dudmaston Hall, then a trip back to Bridgnorth on board THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE! Finally, having tried every other mode of transport available, I took a trip up the rock on the Funicular Cliff Railway.

Rock, and indeed Roll.

Wedding Belles

I had a wonderful weekend: Saturday night was spent cruising along the River Severn for Alison and Charles's wedding reception. What an idyllic way to celebrate such an occasion. Then on Saturday, it was a walk in the sun up Bredon Hill on the edge of the Cotswolds, with panoramic views in every direction.
