We were told by another boater that the Severn would be busy over this bank holiday weekend so it was a good place to avoid. Accordingly we decided to stay over in our quiet spot just outside Stourport. We walked the half mile or so into Stourport in the morning.
 |
| We passed this tiny pub garden with beautiful flowers |
 |
| New apartments with mooring spaces and not a single boat, all very sterile looking |
 |
| Stourport basin |
 |
| Elevenses in the scrupulously clean and very friendly Blossom Cafe adjacent to the lock into the basin |
As our Pearsons Guide writes the town is a strange mix of Canal town and seaside (riverside) resort.
 |
| Complete with funfair. |
Later we watched the weather forecast and we were not pleased to see a blanket of rain and strong winds for Monday, so another change of plan...........tomorrow we would go. We would put up with a busy river, it was also the day of Dragon Boat Racing at Worcester so we looked forward to an exciting ride..........
