Pershore Abbey
Last weekend was very special I stayed with my brother William and his wife Carol in Pershore. William is now officially a pensioner and was looking quite fit and well having commenced a fitness programme that appeared to suit him. It felt good hanging out with the family and catching up on their news, which also comprised my niece, her husband and their two darling girls. I haven`t been to Pershore for a couple of years but this small country town never changes its still quiet and picturesqe. The weather was terrible on Friday and Saturday, unremitting wind and rain but Sunday the sun broke through and I was able to enjoy a walk on the Abbey Green. We had hoped to get out more but it was too cold and wet though I did manage to struggle round the shops on Saturday, lost my umbrella to the capricious wind that tore it apart. Bought a hat to ward of most of the rain and it did stop on my head and kept it dry.
Carol was happiest in her kitchen cooking up wonderful dishes to surprise and delight me. Especially her ultra delicious, heavily intoxicating ice cream and lemon cheese. We all celebrated Williams 65th at The Legend a Thai Restaurant on the High Street, so many courses. I enjoyed the seafood most of all it reminded me of my visits to Australia where sea food is so readily available, fresh and cheap.
Sunday I had a easy drive home, the roads where busy but we kept moving .It was sunny and warm such a contrast to the journey down on Friday. It takes me about an hour and a half if there is no traffic hold ups. M6/M5 at Birmingham has a terrible reputation for congestion and slow moving holdups. I arrived home with lots of goodies from Carol, she is so generous and a painting by her Son in Law Rob. He paints wonderful colourful canvasses and I am now the proud owner of a Rob Kirbyson original Lonely Clown Fish. This is Rob`s website drop in, his paintings are quite unique and special.
