So obviously an equestrian tourism business wants to emphasize the fun, the friendships, the fantastic, except... Today, at the local point-to-point races. With the right kit, it really wasn't too bad. There was an enormous heated tent which was packed with a rather surprising number of happy people.

The Hook Norton dray horses were off for a ride around the village when we arrived for lunch. Previously, we had been visiting the Rollright Stones a couple of miles away. Even though located in very domesticated Oxfordshire, there is definitely an atmosphere and drama at these ancient stones.

The planet Mars suspended in the nave of Gloucester Cathedral. Rather beautiful but far more mysterious and much less familiar than the moon that was floating in the same space a couple of years ago.

Stow Horse Fair. This is a really ancient fair, dating back centuries in an important market town set on five roads. Today the fancy horses, the good saddlery and agricultural equipment have disappeared onto the Internet and specialist sales and it has become a gypsy fair, celebrating the unique culture of Travellers and Gypsies. There are still horses for sale: the classic hairy cobs unique to the British Isles. I arrived too late to see them being "flashed". The term "chav" used a few years ago as a disparaging term for "a young person of a type characterized by coarse and brash behaviour" comes from a Romani word "chavi" meaning "child" (and earlier, Hindi). So the amount of fake brands, gold jewelry and extreme bling for sale on rather sketchy market stalls was fascinating. The classic Romany Bow Top wagons, of which there were several, arrived on trailers, often towed by new high-end 4x4s. Women, glammed up to the max, sat in folding chairs beside a smoking wood fire complete with a tripod and kettle, celebrating elements of the heritage. Men in little clumps discussed sales and horses and dodgy deals. Every pub in town was closed.

Stormed Chepstow Castle, after coffee and before a light lunch in the town. Possibly one of the best castles I've visited, full of fascinating corners to dig into, beautiful views over the river and a pleasantly relaxed attitude to signs and barriers!

That time of the year again, when the Mop appears for an afternoon and evening before it vanishes for seven days, only to return for a second go. The town shops are open as usual all day though the roads are closed around the market place. It is slightly surreal and that is why I love it!

Fence judging in an old orchard. Each tree was a different apple variety and everyone - officials, participants, connections - was scrumping the fruit. Nothing like a fresh apple.

Some pictures taken just a few fields downstream from the official source of the River Thames. I presume the water goes underground rather than completely stops. It is interesting living in a limestone landscape.
