Lets start with the sunrise taken from the van window at about 4 am.
The weather for the whole of this little trip was glorious, sunny but not too hot and only a few cloudy spells, my sort of weather.
We came away for a few days to have a wander and also take a ride on the recently opened Gloucester and Warwickshire Steam Railway.
It runs from Cheltenham Racecourse to Broadway through some stunning Cotswold scenery.
Broadway is extremely popular with tourists as its a typical Cotswolds village, all the houses are very well kept and very expensive. As is the whole of the Cotswolds when it comes to eating and having a cup of tea. All very nice and good to look at but not my place to live even if I won the Lottery.
Unlike other Cotswold villages the main street is wide and I would guess the reason for the name.
On a walk into Cheltenham we had a wander around just to sample the grandeur of the Regency buildings.
This is the Pittsville Pump Rooms where George III and Queen Charlotte came to take the waters. They are still being pumped but apparently taste foul. It's open to the public so we had a look inside.
During its heyday and orchestra sat in this balcony and played for the gentry who promenaded below.
The Pump Rooms are situated in a park with a very polluted stream running through so I was surprised to see this Little Egret.
Some more grand houses.
Staying on the campsite was this man who is working his way around Britain on his mobility scooter towing a very small home made caravan.

Finally the sunset of the longest day.
and time for a beer.
