Church Farm, Coddington
My b&b in Herefordshire last week. Five Hundred years old (I speculated on how many had come into the world, and left it, in my bedroom). Only my nose peeped out of the covers on the first night, but no-one visited. Second night, I forgot about ghosts and read an Alexander Kent novel.

Sunset over Wales
From the churchyard, across cider orchards and into Wales.

Back home to the Yorkshire coast and a full gale sweeping down the North Sea. I watched it for a while and thought of the days when I clung to the radio bench on a tiny coaster in such weather, loaded with Tyne coal for Battersea.

I loved Herefordshire when we lived nearby – there are lots of parallels with here, not least, good cider!
Just finished the local apples and pears I brought back. The pears were the best ever.
Hah – I move from Bromyard (Herefordshire) to Manchester and you go to Coddington Herefordshire (not that far away) for the weekend LOL
I’d be happy to live in Herefordshire, particularly Ledbury which seemed a lovely, gentle town.
Leominster is also nice Harry, with an interesting history and an extremely active U3A Architectural Heritage Group, plus, its a good base for exploring Shropshire (especially Ludlow during the Food Festival) and Wales đŸ™‚
