Link to Home - Tall Ships
It took us 2 1/2 hours to do the 55 miles to get to see the "Tall Ship's". The first 39 miles went fine but due to an accident on the M5, we had to go on the A38, which took us through small villages. When we finaly got to Gloucester there were so many people, all with the same idea as we had for a nice day out.
It was good to see lots of people in period costume walking about, and talking to every one. This lady was trying to sell us "pies" for half-a-crown.
The docks have all these old wharehouses around them. It must have been a very busy place back then.
Trudy almost got herself arrested, he told her he had to keep these "colonials" under control.
There were a few old cars to keep the boys happy.
A barge in dry dock.
We got talking to a couple who have been spending there summers for the last 15 years on their barge. The one they have now they had custome built in 2008. As we were about to walk off when they asked us if we would like to look around the barge. Alan so wanted to look in one, and I must admite I did too. Alan & Jean welcomed us into their home, and as you can see below, it was wonderful and coszy in side.

Love those long boats! I could swear Jim was wearing my jacket too!
Hope Trudy get out of jail in time for the return crossing.
The Deuce coupe is not what Alan expected?
Nice Sunbeam Radier the boys are looking over!
Thanks for finding the 71 VW camper.
The barge looks like a toy in dry dock, is that the one you got to tour?
The wood on the barge was so beautiful now big was the barge?
May a barge for your next 'RV'
