On Friday evening myself and H drove up to Worcester for what seems like the first time in ages for me (and the first time ever for H), where we were staying at Fatbob and Bimbo’s. We were joined later in the evening by Dev, but not KP, who sadly had to look after the escapologist cat Frank (He escaped with a big anti-scratch collar on) and had some curry, made by Jackie abley assisted by Fatbob.
We later headed into town to the Hand in Glove pub for a few beers and were joined by Treble Cleff and Pete, where our usual talking rubbish insued until about 2 before we turned in for the evening.
The next morning, slightly worse for wear, we had a sausage sandwich and then took a wander down by the river to show H the cathedral. It turned out that there was a food fair going on, but as you had to pay £6 to get in, we decided against that one and headed inside for a bit of a look around. It is an impressive building and I hadn’t been in there since my graduation, so it was nice to have a decent look around in there, including the Crypt. After this we headed back and had a game of Trivial Pursuit before heading to the Marwood for an evening meal.
More impressively than the fact that they had Brew Dog Lusty Blonde on Tap, which is ace, the food was spectacular. For starters I had 6 Garlic King Prawns. For the Main I had a Steak cooked beautifully rare with Honey Roast Vegetables and Fat Chips (basically half chip and half roast potato, all very tasty). Desert was a Chocolate and Pistacio fudge cake with Lemon Sorbet. I left feeling full, but wanting more.
The best desert was H’s Pannacotta, which had popping candy on the top. Very nice indeed. We had a good long meal, but called it an early night, as we seem to be getting too old for late-night exertions 2 days in a row.

Tewekesbury Abbey
On Sunday we had plans to visit Mack, Spanner and the sprog, so we went to Tewkesbury on the way to have a look at the abbey and the confluence of the Severn and Avon rivers. Being geography geeks, this was a bit exciting for us.
Saying goodbye to Fatbob and Bimbo we headed towards Fairford for lunch at Chez Chick and then home. All in all it was a good weekend, so that is even better.
