I shake up my days by sometimes using the drive through Starbucks outside Ross and sometimes using Strensham services.

I shake up my days by sometimes using the drive through Starbucks outside Ross and sometimes using Strensham services. As motorway/A-road journeys go, that stretch is quite nice and stress free. Used Strensham before as we have the occasional 'off-site' in Tewksbury and its the last chance to stop beforehand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, no idea on street names, there’s a line of shops that includes an HSBC, Nationwide, Cafe Niro and Costa. Elevated above that on the main road through is an independent coffee shop (maybe called Gallery) and an interior design nick nack shop. The interior design woman has Farrow & Ball. Superb description. ** Bellevue Terrace / Church Street Edited September 11, 2019 by chrisp65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very careful to say ‘like that’ when suggesting one. Down the nearest paint merchants and get something mixed up for a third of the price. You’d be gobsmacked how many retailers think their shops are painted with F&B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb description. There's a few independent coffee shops/cafes thereabouts. I think the 'Gallery' is Gallery 36 - which is a bar/restaurant that used to be Olivers (and has gone by various names) and it would be on Belle Vue Terrace (i.e. the A49 in that little section of Gt Malvern). Have you gone and had a look at the Rose Bank Gardens a few hundred yards up the road? by Walenty Pytel Quote A sculpture by Pytel of two buzzards, which he has said will be his last major art-work, was installed in Rosebank Gardens, Great Malvern in November 2012.

chrisp65 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Nope not done the gardens, that would be skiving. A coffee with someone, that’s networking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's art & culture. Two minutes walk - just past Lloyds and The Mount Pleasant. Sculpture looks even better in the dark when lit up (so organise a meeting in late afternoon in Nov/Dec). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 When people try and justify why I am obligated to do something with rationale that suggests I owe it to them, when the reality is they are asking me a favour. Just ask me politely and with the mutual understanding that it is a request that you want for yourself and not a duty I have to be responsible for. Makes all the difference. More often than not I'll be happy to help you achieve whatever I can, being of service can be rewarding when the beneficiary of my efforts allows me freedom and respect.
