28th May '13

It's raining, it's been raining since yesterday evening and hey... guess what? we're in Bradford on Avon and it's a Tuesday. A coincidence? I don't think so.

We have moved up onto the 48 hour moorings right next to Ian and Allison and went out into the town with them today. It was wet. I'm wet, my shoes and socks are wet, my feet are wet. Basically it's pretty wet out there.

Sights of Bradford on Avon, which is a really pretty little town, this is the Bridge Cafe which looks like it's about to fall down but has been there for hundreds of years so is probably OK.

This is the Three Gables Restaurant which is just around the corner from the Cafe - that is a road by the way, not a river.

 

THIS is the river, over the road from the previous pictures, not to be confused with the canal which is where we are.

For alternative views of any of my photos, please see NB Free Spirit's blog which contains pretty much the same content today! Here we are enjoying ourselves in the rain.

A gold post box signifies an Olympic Champion....

.....and here's the plaque on another bridge to give the details. We could maybe learn from him to help us down the Kennet when we get there!

This is the amazing Tithe Barn, we first came here years ago, but it still fills one with awe at the size of it and how solid it still is, just imagine when it was full of corn! THAT'S a harvest home for you.

Tonight we have planned a barbecue, good plan huh? it's going to be rather an indoor affair one feels unless a. it drys up pretty quickly and b. the temperature increases by lots!

Tomorrow we move further eastwards, and I really hope that the weather improves somewhat, I've got LOTS of washing to do and then need to dry it all so fingers are firmly crossed (it's difficult to type with crossed fingers!).
