Some photo’s from a trip to Kenilworth to see the installation of a box girder bridge to carry the HS2 line under the A46 bypass. The structure was created off-site and pushed into place on-site. The preparation for this work took under a year with 19 days used to push the box into place, minimising delays for road users. Top planning from the people at HS2 to do this.
I also took a video with my drone. Check it out here

The glorious weather has continued throughout the month of May and really gets me itching to take the drone up over the town.
I think the town looks great with the bunting out on the high street and just look at that blue/green summer backdrop. Marvellous!

Just a photo I took tonight of the high street. The bunting is up.

Aerial pictures of the Fleur de Lys pub, Lowsonford. Taken half-way on a canal walk from Wootton Wawen on Sunday the 20th of April 2025.
The Mount Inn, Stanton. You’d be forgiven for never knowing there was a pub here as it’s hidden right at the back of this charming Cotswold’s village.
A cosy 17th century pub with views extending as far as the Welsh mountains. And you can sit at the bar, too. A theme I’m seeing across Donnington pubs.
Drink of choice today was Donnington’s Cotswold Stout.
Some recent aerial pictures of the development site at Oversley Mill Services on the roundabout between the A435 and the A46 just outside of Alcester. There has been a fuel station here since 1990 and has previously been a BP petrol station with a car wash.
The current plans are for a new petrol station alongside additional electric vehicle charging bays, a new car park, car wash area, coffee drive thru and a brand new store called “Browns”, named after the owners.
