Ludlow & Stokesay

Good Friday this year was spent with Uncle Chris, Auntie Alison and Alison's cousin once removed Kayla, who was on holidays from Western Australia. First stop was Ludlow, about an hours drive away, where we spent half the day looking around the castle there. Unfortunately we got tied up with the tour guide there who wouldn't stop talking (but it was Uncle Chris's faut for encouraging him!!). We then went for a walk around the river and then drove to Stokesay Manor House and took some more photos! Alison kept up with us all with the photo taking as she had the newest camera of all. Thanks for a nice day everyone!
