Sitting on the 10:40 train from Cheltenham to Gloucester. It took me so long to book the ticket and the journey is so short that I almost feel that I could have walked instead.

Seen on my wanderings today.

On the way to the station I noticed this
Odd, I passed it yesterday and didn't notice it!

Walked just a couple of minutes from the railway station in Gloucester and I saw my first lion. They are pretty enough but what are they for, I'm beginning to think that perhaps some other animals should be represented

There's a lot of new building going on in the area near the station and part of it includes connections to the past



I didn't take many pictures of the new buildings. I was pleased to see that there were variations in style

There was some sort of event that i didn't identify happening in King's Square

And another lion

This one is surely inspired by the tale of the Tailor of Gloucester but the description acknowledges neither John Prichard who was the real tailor nor Beatrix Potter who wrote and illustrated the most widely known version of the story
