TODAY IT WAS CHELTENHAM AND GLOUCESTER

A five am start this morning, a clear run down but weather not as forecast( yet again) the BBC are rubbish with their forecasts I must make a determined effort to avoid their efforts and get a more realistic synopsis of the conditions. It was far too bright despite the promise of heavy cloud melting to light cloud but I still managed to get reasonable shots at an interesting time in Gloucester where work has started on the new shop and bus station complex while the old one is still being used. The morning rush hour was very chaotic and makes for quite entertaining viewing.

After covering Gloucester we made our way to Cheltenham, we used to enjoy the cafe there with giant eclairs, a lifetime away now, it's Costa or Starbucks and even these are bottom of their range, no nice cakes anywhere, very poor expected better of Cheltenham. Bus content about usual, lingered around to get some variety at the bus station, it clouded over a bit so got some decent shots in the town. Tomorrow we continue decorating the lounge , on the home straight.

It will probably be trucks the rest of the week when I get time as it's going to be sunny, I spotted another truck filming location so I can try that sometimes, I've a couple of new ones in mind. Photos at Gloucester this morning. It's my course at Chester tonight. Looking at a Cuba trip in February next year, heat and old lorries are a good combination but really need a self drive which we didn't get last time.
