Mini Spring Tour

Well we waited for the inclement weather of  January and February to largely clear before setting off again.
We set off on the 24th February for Broadway CC site. We set up in the hot sun, it was definitely time to get the shorts out. Both of  were really surprised too see that the site was so busy.


Monday was again hot with temperature reaching 18C in the shade. We went in to Broadway and shopped at Budgens, which proved to be an even more expensive supermarket than Waitrose.

It was so warm on Tuesday that we both sat around reading!

It was still hot on the Wednesday so we set off up to Broadway Tower. Again it was absolutely heaving as the weather was so good!
We then came back and I had a look around Broadway. This is the top end of Broadway.

Thursday was a bit cooler so we went to the Outlet centre at Gloucester, for some retail therapy. I ended up with new shoes and shorts.

Friday I spent looking round the station at Broadway. Only engineering trains were running though.

I went to Evesham on Saturday as there was absolutely nowhere to park in Broadway as it was so busy, then came back and cleared up before the wind and rain arrived.

On Sunday it was time to move on to Chatsworth House CC site.
First time here and it was an OK site. The access to the site is very tight so it is blocked off to arrivals until 1.00pm
On the Tuesday we had a look around the area. Chatsworth House was very busy so we gave that a miss though.

It was very cold there and we soon moved on to Burrs Country Park for the Spring Steam Gala.
As we come here for the gala's and to meet Kathy and Robert I have kept the comments to the minimum!
Each day we met up with Kathy and Robert.
I spent the Saturday riding on the trains.
The weather was extremely windy so our awning got taken down.

After a good time with Robert and Kathy we headed home on the Tuesday to face a few weeks decorating!
