Last Weekend: Ludlow

Here are the last few photos from our weekend trip to Ludlow last week. Goodness knows what I'll write here now, hermitting about and watching Game of Thrones doesn't exactly make for exciting things to talk about.

I feel like I'm more into it (whatever 'it' is) at the moment though, it must be the longer days. I've definitely noticed a pattern over the years, things slow down at Christmas and don't generally build momentum until about now.


Anyway, back to Ludlow, it was so great to get out and snap away again, I'll be looking to do it more and more as the weather improves. Ludlow seems like a lovely place for a mooch and we did a fair amount, despite one of our tour guides having a bit of a sore head from the night before. The markets, all the food, I'm looking forward to Ludlow Food Festival already.



These silk flowers were very good pretenders.



We took an unplanned detour to Ludlow Castle after finding out it was just £5 admission. I'd certainly recommend it, if only for the beautiful views. We were also treated to some massacred pigeons courtesy of a wild sparrowhawk - that last bit I guess I was less happy about but it was quite interesting, plus, nature innit?






:(









Such pretty streets - that are apparently okay to drive down too(!)


Oh, 'almost Wales', you have such wonderful daffs ♥

Extras.

So, I'm very aware that it's now June and that it's a Monday and these are two things that should mean that I'm looking forward to new things. I am, and I pretty much always am, but I couldn't not show you these photos from last weekend of our little afternoon outing to Windsor, especially after only sharing a couple for May's Photo An Hour.

It's days like this that make me really realise how big a part the sun plays in my motivation to do things, it just seems to make everything so much easier. Windsor sure was a pretty place to visit, the castle makes such a stunning centrepiece, I definitely want to go back again and check it out properly.






A little boat trip is definitely another thing on my list of things to do next time I visit Windsor.






Stumbling upon beautiful old books in Eton charity shops.


One of many fancy post boxes.





Good chalky font feels.


Peek-a-boo!





Seeing new places as a tourist can be fun sometimes, and this definitely made a little difference from being touristy in London – something we actually did last weekend, but more on that later. These mini-roadtrips around England sure are fun, I guess having my own car isn't so bad after all, even if Mr Moon is one of the worst backseat drivers...
