Avon in Flood

I met one of my school friends today near Evesham, which halfway between our current abodes.  Amanda and I used to play piano duets at school and we shared many happy hours practising and giggling!  She had picked the pub for us to meet at today.  I looked at in on Google Maps and thought it was on the A46 and would be really easy to find.  It wasn't.  But we both ended up at the right place and found the river on its way towards to pub car park, the pub closed and no one around.  Fortunately, after a photographic interlude the owner of the pub arrived and opened the door.  We asked if he was doing food and he said the kitchen wasn't set up and there was no chef. But he could cook us something if we liked...  So we stayed for lunch in lonely isolation and it actually wasn't too bad.
 
The Avon near Evesham is very high and leaking badly into the fields, but they seem to be hoping that the worst is over.
 
Good to catch up with old friends...
