Back to the town of painted doors and alleycats

 đź’•Ah Tewkesburyđź’•

Do you know what...I flipping love this town with all its curios and layers of history. It is entirely down to Mythago and our annual trip to dance at the Medieval Festival that I've been here, but every time it has something new to offer. The weekend was amazing and with a change to our schedules we found we all had more time to explore and see different things. Personally I enjoy the quiet slot on the Friday afternoon when the others are busy putting up their tents [we always stay in a hotel] and then again on the Monday morning before we head back for home. Please do feel free to come and join us. The artwork I've shown are more pieces from the Project Alleycat which I featured here and more have been added as funding targets have been reached.https://gnatbottomedtowers.blogspot.com/search?q=alleycat

















It truly is a place where it pays to keep your eyes peeled and please do go up some of those alleys....they are filled with treasures you will miss otherwise.

    Are those first pieces carved from wood? How detailed!

      They're carved from stone and I think were originally roof bosses. Arilx

    Really good finds there - my only memory of Tewksbury is not being allowed to park anywhere - we only had a transit camper - not a mammoth motorhome - but ended up having to park a mile out to visit the abbey!

      I think things might have improved a bit these days on the parking front as I noticed motor homes parked almost opposite the abbey on this visit. Arilx

      Every time we go back it gets better. This time we were able to see the muster for the battle. Arilx
