Sunny and 20C, just slightly cooler than yesterday.
Kathleen has declared a day of "taking it easy", no cycling marathons today.
A walk to the village shop, to replenish essentials, followed by a very pleasant four mile ramble through the surrounding countryside.
A lazy afternoon of reading, followed by dinner at The Swan Inn.

Sunny and warm 23C, with barely any breeze.
A gentle cycle ride to Upton-on-Severn, a mere 5 miles or so each way, nothing when compared to our recent exploits.
Kathleen again visits the Hospice Charity shop, they will be giving her a loyalty card if she goes much more often. All of the waistcoats appear to have been sold, it must have been those visiting the Jazz Festival, at the weekend.
Refreshments, at one of the pubs on the river bank, before returning to Hanley Swan.
We while away the afternoon cooking steaks and eating in the sunshine,

Another beautiful morning, it is 21C at 09:00 as I pack away final outdoor "things".
An easy journey home, M5-M42-M1-M18-A1M, only one hold-up!
Home by 15:30.

What is it with us Brits? We get one hot day, and, we are all begging for a bit of "cool" weather! Today obliges, it is only 22C, with a gentle breeze.
After yesterday's 30 miles of cycling, we have a more sedate walk through the fields, surrounding Hanley Swan, followed by a pint in the Swan Inn, by the village pond.

Sunny with cloud and 21C, a bit breezy.
We cycle to Worcester.
19 miles, there and back. Not as far as Tewkesbury, but, more "undulating"!
Worcester is an attractive place, magnificent Cathedral, and a City Centre which appears to be thriving.
One omission appears to be any shops selling actual food!, there are dozens of cafes and restaurants, plus of course shops selling clothes, shoes, phones etc etc, but, we could not find a simple Tesco Metro or similar. I was beginning to fear we would have no bread, for my planned bacon sandwiches!, but, the day was saved by a small convenience store on the way back to the site, in a village called "Callow End".
