Worcestershire

It was a busy day in the office with a series of meetings starting first thing and going on until mid-afternoon. All of the meetings overlapped other meetings, but some deft footwork enabled the GF to slink and glide gracefully from one to another.
The building work in the office reached a crescendo over the last few days, but as the the workmen started screeding the corridor by GF's desk, he decided the smell of ammonia was not conducive to continued concentration.

Leaving work, GF went straight to "Spicy Life" for a curry. He sat by the door and was kept entertained by the comings and goings of the 4-man delivery team who shuttled fresh provender into the building almost non-stop for ten minutes. He was amazed at the sheer volume they get through. The proprietor explained that they delivered every 2 weeks... but only the exotic ingredients (rice, ginger, etc.)

Leaving the restaurant, GF went for a short drive back into Worcestershire towards Bredon. It seems a very attractive and quaint village, and deserves a re-visit. (The pub, The Fox & Hounds looks very nice). He stopped briefly for some photos. A few weeks back, this river had broken its banks and stretched for half a mile or so across the nearby water meadows.
