Definitely not a no spends day today.
We will be getting up shortly. Already heard plenty of people setting off early for their Easter holidays so we expect the roads will be busy.
We are going to get up have a coffee and then I will take the dog for a walk while the other half gets the van out.
We are heading to McDonald's for breakfast before having a steady run down to Tewkesbury.
If we make good time we will stop somewhere along the way to stretch our legs and have a drink.3 -

We had a nice steady drive down to Tewkesbury yesterday. The traffic for the most part wasn't too bad.
The site here is lovely and very well located for town.
Today we are going to see the Abbey which randomly is dog friendly and then lots of walking by the river. Might visit the chocolate cafe as well.
First up though a full English to set us up for the day.
We are having an Indian takeaway later on.3 -

The weather was beautiful yesterday. We had a great day exploring the town.
It looks like we are set for more of the same today.
The curry we had last night was excellent, the best we have had in a long time.
Today we are having a full English for breakfast again and later on it is roast lamb and all the trimmings. Looking forward to that.3 -
The Easter bunny found us on our travels.
