Mutual Exchange

First half of this glorious week was spent in Carlisle with Sis revisiting some old haunts, when we could tear ourselves away from the garden :)

After such a dry spell the water at Aira Force was low enough to allow you to sit on the rocks in the middle of the fall and watch the water tumble around you.

Views from Jeans garden

Second half was spent down here between Gloucester, Dewston cave gardens:

and Bristol. After lunch and a walk along Bristol dockside, including the Tai Festival and great childrens water play area:

great bit of street art :)

+ an interlude from Bristol Samba -

then it was off to the Hip for a revival of 'Singin in the Rain:

memorable performances from Stephane Anelli as Cosmo and Vicky Binns as Lina (of the amazing voice) Lamont + 12,000 litres of water on stage (amazingly dried away by the energetic stage hands during the interval !!).

Finishing with lunch n a pint by the river Severn at Awre as we watched the sun go down - doesn't get much better than that :)
