Roy found us a village to checkout called Weobley, it was Saturday afternoon after our lunch at The Cider Barn so still hot, but there wasn't a soul around. One of the prettiest villages that we've either driven through or aimed for as a destination. A lot of black and white houses and I was reliably informed the biggest village in Herefordshire. Roy said he couldn't fault it, but for me it seemed slightly too big. No doubting how lovely it was though.
There definitely a change in the weather for our second week in Herefordshire, great that it had cooled down considerably, but it would have been better without the rain. It did mean though that we could hang out a bit more at the camper reading and relaxing.
Sunday night brought an electrical storm like Ive never experienced before. Lots of lightening, but no thunder or rain. Fascinating to watch but sightly scary being in the middle of a camping field.
On Monday we went to Ludlow. The last time we visited was a few years ago now and it was lovely, but this time we found it a bit disappointing. Over the weekend they had held the annual Ludlow food festival, which we missed as the website stated no dogs were allowed in the marquees. We later found out that due to the heat they had allowed dogs in, so that was a shame. Turning up the next day was a bit of a mistake and we ended up having buying a packet of crisps for lunch.

Tuesday we went to Shrewsbury and what a lovely town it is, we've not been there before and the drive through the Shropshire hills was just beautiful, despite the rain.
We had brought tickets to visit Shrewsbury Prison, but before our booking for the tour we popped into the town for a quick look around. I'll definite be going back to spend a few hours there looking around the independent shops, rather than rushing about in an hour or so.
Shrewsbury Prison; we did the guided tour and it was well worth a visit, interesting and informative.
