Ludlow

First full day in Ludlow was spent in the very heart of town, specifically in the castle that was likely the nucleus of it's history. I gotta say, it was a pretty damn good castle. Plenty of intact spaces, unique areas and best of all: several spiral staircases to climb! Dad took plenty of photos that I have no doubt will end up on the family calendar next year - we really got a lot of mileage from our admission. In the evening we popped out to see Jamie's parents who had recently moved to Ludlow - I hadn't seen them since before Covid but they were exactly as I recall them. There were generous hosts, preparing a dinner for us and sharing a couple bottles of wine around the table. Most remarkable was their home: a clocktower next to a guildhall. Quite literally their attic had hatch into the clocks internals, it was like a museum space plus a man cave up their. Louis remarked how it was his dream workspace and frankly, I concur.
