After several days of rain - the sun came out - and the meadows were looking stunning |
Hazel coppice in Coalpit Coppice |
No idea what this is - there was a lot of it about |
Looking South West toward Pershore from Line Hill |
I was wrong - this is Ragged Robin - it was getting windy and dark by now so I decided to make the motion blur an artistic feature |
What is this vine - neither Black nor White Bryony. Nor is it that unidentified vine from Kingley Vale. If it is a grape then it is a pretty funny one. I think it is a Hop |
After two false starts (The Bell - Ladies Night and The Manchester Inn - rundown and not inviting) we came across the Swallows Nest in Romsley - it is part of a chain but the (overworked) staff were excellent and so was the food. Above is my tomato soup. |
The place was heaving - being the first decent warm and sunny evening for weeks (and it did not last) so I had to wait a bit for my poke belly, black pudding, apple ring and mustard mash - really very good indeed |
Here is our route. Chaddesley Wood has limited access - several parts are closed to all visitors - but it is still well worth a visit. Dodford - diffuse village on the lower right of the map was a Chartist Settlement. |
