Sunday 20 May – Day 26 – Broadway to Broom
Today was a linking day in our adventure. We were leaving the Cotswold Way, and the Cotswolds in fact, and traveling initially northwest to the Avon river and then following it round in a more north-easterly direction to our destination of Broom in Worcestershire.
It was a largely unremarkable day – following quiet country roads for the morning and then Shakespeare’s Avon Way after lunch. Arriving at the point where we picked up the Avon river we were surprised to find a pub (yes, a pub… who’d have thought… ) and as it was hot, sunny and midday…… yes, cold drinks it was 😊
But even on these apparently quiet, low key days it is surprising what you see…
The following photos was taken as we walked in to the little village of Offenham.
You can imagine the conversation…
Alice. you see the neighbours now have a Merc AND an Audi.. Standards are slipping… When are they going to realise, those models are sooo common now. Let’s upgrade.. What can be finer in the Corswolds than a great big yellow JCB digger! And what’s more, if their pesky Merc gets in our way we do have the bucket on the front…..
Or how about this one ? Seen on a farm lane this morning…
Tired of having to drive through mud and cowpats on your way to the milking shed ? Why not help the environment and repurpose some retired astro turf ! It’s even got a white stop line – if we could just train those cows to stop…
So here we are at the Broom Hall Inn. Having arrived at 3.30pm, we repaired to the garden with The Observer (picked up on the way) and a pint of Butty Bach bitter for Peter, hoping later to post some more photos.
Distance today: 21km
