A brand new Severn Trow is being built in Gloucester Docks to proudly take its place in the Diamond Jubilee pageant... a floating cavalcade on the Thames...1000 vessels will take part

Hundreds of them once plied the River Severn carrying tonnes of cargo...this a picture of the remains of a classic vessel.

I've just returned from a fantastic week living in the Forest of Dean.

What a week we have ahead with the warm, sunny weather. Many thanks to Ricky for this sky at night shot from Buckshaft in the Forest...keep the spring/sunny photos coming please...cummings@bbc.co.uk

My eldest is on "work experience" this week in the Forest Of Dean so 'dad n daughter' are camping out in a friend's log cabin.

Not any old log cabin mind you ... this one comes complete with its own garden railway.

This was taken by Dave from Tetbury at the weekend. So spring is here...Thank heavens!

I'm off for a couple of days but will be back next week. I'm spending the week in the forest of Dean in a friend's summer house. It's a long story which involves my daughter doing work experience in Cinderford...so dad has decided to join her for the week.

I'll be spending the afternoons on my bike trying to get lost in the Forest...if you have any suggestions of areas to cycle please get in touch and anymore spring photos would be great...cummings@bbc.co.uk
