Cornflowers at Meadow Cafe

Cox' Meadow, Cheltenham. Whither we had gone for Len to have an MRI scan.

He'd located the Meadow Cafe just around the corner from where he had to be. Basil and I walked round and were made very welcome by Jo (Josephine!) Baker and her two helpers. A strip of cornflowers washed the meadow in blue just outside, as you can see. This photo taken with a soft focus lens. Here's a double exposure.

Pop in and support Jo and her team. They have bagels!

I phoned my Uncle Dave who came post haste with his wife Mary to say Hello. An extremely pleasant afternoon chatting and sitting in the shade outside on the terrace, and every now and then, a hint of a breeze. 

We journeyed via the A46. A much more congenial route than the M42/M5, discovering The Stag at Redhill en route, a 16th century coaching inn. Much recommended and like the Meadow Cafe, dog friendly.

Nevertheless, the heat won. Home to consume large quantities of water and rest in a darkened room.

Coda: Today marks five years of blipping.
