Gloucester

We pulled out of Folly Farm and headed to Llanthony Priory beside Gloucester Historic Docks. This wasn't a new ground for Giffords as they had opened here last year but it was a new ground for us.

The ground itself was really nice and very close to the city centre, Gloucester Quays Designer Outlet Centre and Sainsburys. Always a plus when you can actually walk to a supermarket. The Outlet Centre was a little dangerous, especially since they had a Cadburys shop!

The first day we arrived there were Dragon boat races taking place.

Also close by was a craft centre that sold some really nice Willow stuff which I always like to find. We bought a few pieces for presents and some bits for ourselves, including a really nice string of stars.

Just before we got to Gloucester Willow had been studying Cathedrals at school so it was great to be able to go to the one here and carry on her studies. They have some good worksheets you can buy for a pound to learn all about it, so we visited a couple of times to get then completed and to learn what we needed to. The main interest for Willow though was some of the Harry Potters had been filmed here.

Gloucester is a nice city with some amazing buildings and once again I am reminded how old Britain is.
