Shropshire in October

Hubby and I managed a couple of days visiting my mother in law in Shropshire during my half term break in October.

 We arrived late afternoon and managed a walk in nearby Little Stretton

Always look at this house from the road and wonder what it looks like inside!

 It has a very pretty thatched church

 The next morning was bright and sunny and we drove towards Ludlow, stopping off at the Ludlow Farm Shop for some provisions.

before heading off to a National Trust place, Berrington Hall

 Where they were celebrating Apple Month

 It is always sad to read about the three sons lost to the family during the First World War

 We always enjoy walking around this lovely house.

 Then we walked around the landscaped park

Before calling in at the formal gardens.

and buying some heritage apples,

Church Stretton

 The next morning we went to Ludlow

Such a pretty town.

 While I was there I managed to read a good part of my book.....I love a book with a room plan!

 and on our way home we called in to see my mother in laws sister who lives in Birmingham and we had a lovely lunch before heading home.

My next post will be a very very long one....entitled 'Remembrance' just to warn you!
