| Our trip 2003 - week 3. |
Photos taken to Tues April 29, 2003
Hi,Third week completed. Good Friday, April 18, was a lovely day, and we joined the march from the Village Hall up the hill to the church. We took possession of the officially green Mondeo the day before the rains returned. The man on the TV was explaining that England was in the grip of a drought, and the cows were giving less milk. We saw the daffodils had collapsed due to the heat, and the children next door were playing in their paddling pool.
The Gang Show is the feature for this week, held at Cheltenham. Their web site is gloucestergangshow.org.uk May God smile on you today, | |
 Attending the Gang Show 2003 was a nostalgic trip. Malcolm White renews a chat with Max

 The stage curtains are decorated by the school badges.

Jolian is on the left. Ticket sellers ponder if there are spare seats for us.

We attended the afternoon matinee, also attended by folk in wheel chairs.

The cows in their front paddock, trees on the horizon are called The Four Sisters.

Cows are reluctant stars, too busy enjoying a brief burst of afternoon sunshine.

The house has been fitted with weather-proof doors.

The back door, from the inside, looking out. Note the ridges to be stepped over.

Now I am noticing how the new doors are designed to prevent rain being blown in, despite the lack of roof overhangs. Martin has a problem with some of his new double-glazed windows, because the rains broached the seals so getting between the two panes of glass.
The sun came out, and the cows were in the paddock across the road, so I went out for some photographs, to the bemusement of the commuters homeward bound. This image includes our Friend Derek's favourites - he called the trees on the horizon 'The Four Sisters'.
