S Luca’s ice-cream van. (A replica? Maybe not. Bargain Hunt’s Natasha Raskin Sharp was in it when we arrived.) Luca’s is a well-known (in Edinburgh and the Lothians) ice-cream company.

Evesham in Worcestershire was about 10 or so miles from where we were staying.
I’ve heard of the Vale of Evesham but we didn’t really notice it as such until our last day and had a climb up a steepish hill on our way to Oxford and could see back where we’d come from. There were some apple trees in bloom but nowhere to stop to photograph them.
Evesham itself is a bit down-at-heel but with some quaint old buildings.
Evesham Central Market had a deco flourish on its roofline, though.

Inside there were the usual sort of wee shops found in an indoor market, but only a few of them, plus a set of rooms housing a “junky” kind of antique dealer’s. A bit further up there were two rather less “junky” antique shops side-by-side just off the other side of the main street.
At one end of the street there was this building which doen’t really look very deco apart from the chimney and the decoration between the windows and the roof line.
