Even Further adventures in Ludlow/leominster/Hay

Trip Trap Trip Trap over the rickety rackety wooden bridge but first you have to pay the troll who pops out of his house 0.80p and that's just one way into Wales



 Object to see Bookshire AKA Hay on Wye, a place that Paula again has recommended and it was worth the trek,, this is a lovely picturesque village, everywhere you see book shops, lots of second hand book shops and even a bookshop dedicated to poetry. Shot above shows a lil bit of lazy sunny chilling and shot right .. well it just amused me!


Looking down the path from the castle and through to the river.


I said to the man working in the castle bookshop, what a brilliant job you have and he has!Like the honesty boxes nestling amongst the books outside not just here but elsewhere in bookland.
 Shot above right is intentionally not a random one.. I have decided to log all the public loos in villages/towns and cities I visit from now on before they disappear from view...Council's have been told to cut backs and spending a penny on the high street is high on their hit list.Suppose we will get used to seeing men cock their legs up at lamposts. Bring back voluminous skirts i say! Hopefully high on the agenda is to cut off mobile phones, I had a temp job at a local council and one of my jobs was to file mobile phone bills hook out any over x amount, there were hundreds of them  and it took ages.
Onto Leominster... again a lovely market town with many black and white buildings.  Church had a ducking stool which was interesting.



 Ice cream not quite to equal Snugburys in a lovely cafe in the park, I had white chocolate and cherry. Brent being rollered
Onto Ludlow, Shropshire and this was another really lovely town 

 Quality Street and it is.
 
 

Shot above right messing about with shadows after climbing the tower at Ludlow Church.. Too misty to get any decent shots
Decided to head home and spotted a brown tourist sign to a church at  Worcester...of much interest to admire the ruins
