The Folkestone Harbour Station, which was at the end of this bridge, closed in 2009, when cross channel ferry services from this port were in decline.

Tewkesbury View

HFF - this is in the charming mediaeval market town of Tewkesbury.

The town is very attractive in the summer, but in the winter months it is subject to heavy flooding, as it stands on flat land at the confluence of the River Severn and the River Avon.

The town has always flooded, mostly into a 70 hectare 'ham' or flood meadow, but in recent years, climate change and reduced drainage has increased the threat to the town, and the hoses in the picture can find water lapping at - or through - their front doors.

A view along the Purton Hulks

On the only gloomy day in April, we visited the largest ship graveyard in mainland Britain. Over several years in the last century, around 86 vessels were deliberately grounded to reinforce the bank of the river Severn at Purton.

Most of the wooden boats have decayed away through natural weathering, though many were partly dismantled shortly after grounding by local people for use as construction materials and firewood. The best preserved are the vessels made of ferroconcrete.

Some other views and detail shots in the PiPs.

HFF! The fence isn't exactly the star of the photo, but it's an excuse to post this image of a street performer in Oslo creating an bubble display to amaze and delight a group of children.

Walking off a nice lunch at Gloucester Docks, we passed the maintenance area, where there are usually a few boats being repaired. Yesterday, the dry docks were empty, awaiting new customers.
