A visit to Ross-on-Wye

Miss P has been away for a few days so Alan and I have spent most of the time catching up on work around the house. Some DIY jobs aren't so easily done when children are around. Alan has been tiling the kitchen walls (pictures to follow in a future post).

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.

We returned to the car park right by Pig's Alley ready to explore another place.

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!
