However, yesterday we took the day off. We left at around 9am without any set plan of where to go and headed north towards Gloucestershire. We stopped in Chipping Sodbury for tea & cake and then decided to go on to Herefordshire.
I really wanted to treat myself to a bunch of dahlias in Chipping Sodbury but knew that by the time we got back home they would have suffered with the heat...so I photographed them instead.
We stopped in Ross-on-Wye to have lunch and explore the town as neither of us had been there before. There were quite a few antique shops, charity shops and pretty individual shops.
There is a very good cook shop in the main street
Almshouses
St.Mary's Church
View looking towards the river Wye and Monmouth
Effigies inside the church
A candle and a prayer for a loved one.
In my next post, I will take you to an enchanted forest where we stumbled across a film crew, filming a scene for a movie due out in June 2012...
A bientôt!

My Nan came from Ross on Wye. Her ashes are now there in the church yard.
I haven't been there since i was a little girl. It actually looks a very pretty town x
What a lovely day out - some very enticing looking shops, too!

Ross-On-Wye is a pretty town, and just a stones throw away from me in Hereford. Sounds like you had a lovely day out.

Hello Isabelle, Pig's Alley is such a cute name. I'm finally back online after my computer died last week. Such lovely photos as always. Thanks for sharing your day. I always enjoy tripping along. You are lucky to be able to do such things with Miss P. Miss Daisy would be just wanting a lolly shop all day. Take Care and a prayer for your loved one as well. xx
Hi Isabelle,
never been there, but it looks a lovely place to visit. Those dahlias were amazing, aand their price too! What a pity you couldn't take some home.
Hugs,
