Severnside
The Yew Tree at Chaceley is only half an hour away, but I had never been there before yesterday. Caroline and I were the only customers, sitting on the lawn separating the pub from the River Severn. After winding along the road that leads North from Tirley - a much hedged-in lane - it's a surprise to come across such an open landscape all of a sudden - as if you've reached the seaside.
No doubt passing traffic is usually heavier than it was during our lunch hour, the landing-stage being big enough to accommodate a fair few barges. And as indicated by a weathervane, there's a sailing club just downstream, though we only saw one yacht on the river.

Gloucestershire churches
At the Gloucestershire Historic Churches lunch we attended in the Summer, Caroline's cousin (the current chairman) told me he would like some photographs of the county's churches. I haven't heard any more from him about this, but have gradually begun compiling an archive. With the two I photographed today after visiting Charlotte - this is St John the Baptist, Chaceley - there are now 64 on my website. Plenty more to go though.
