Last breakfast at home, tomorrow we will breakfast on the road...


Today, to Shrewsbury - an initial walk around in the rain...






...to get our bearings...


A famous son of the city, Clive of India...


...stands in front of the Old Market Hall...



  

The Lady Chapel is all that remains of Old St Chad's...


Post purchase of a disc of Philip Glass transcribed for harp, Coffee break #1...



The beast with the strangely shaped head was about its business...


The abbey...








An even more impressive list of former clergy than Much Wenlock the other day - going right back to 1083...


A nearby ex-school...


The United Reform Church was not entered....


A walk along the river...




A possible target was spotted...



The day was not quite as good as yesterday weather-wise...


Up a hill...


...to the Gateway House and the Council House...







Another famous son, Charles Darwin...




His old school is now the library...



Onward, past this unnamed house...


...to the castle...





Shut on Thursdays...





Up...


...to Laura's Tower...



From which the, apparently, tallest Greek Doric Column in the world could be seen off in the distance...


...as could the abbey...





The station facade was also impressive...





We did not venture into the prison...


Two further discs purchased, "Brokeback Mountain OST" and a CD of Indian Ragas featuring the percussion work of Zakir Hussain...
 
Back to the town...



...and to the Wyle Cop...


...for coffee #2...



Next door, a pub cat...



Back over the river...


...and one last view, before the drive home..


In Ludlow library, a reminder that the 10th anniversary of the end of The Great War is soon...


In the evening, out for a last dinner in the town...



Back to Golden Moments for more excellent Indian Cuisine with Teresa and Christopher...


...before ending the night, as had become the usual, at the Rose and Crown...

Having set the world to rights, a few parting shots from the Prof...




Out into the night and home - no time for packing...


Today's artwork, "Last Ludlow Breakfast"...


Highlight of the Day : A visit to Shrewsbury/Tasty Indian...
