One Day One World Project: 13:00 to 14:00 hours

Another busy weekend in Ludlow as it is the Spring Festival where food, ale and music are the main themes, although it also coincides with the Marches Transport Festival with more than 200 classic cars.

Throughout the weekend Talks, Cookery Demos and Master Classes are held within the Inner Bailey of Ludlow Castle and Pâté and Pudding Trails take place around the town. If Real Ale and Live Music are your thing then head to the festival pub in the Outer Bailey where 190 ales are available for tasting.

My photos are from the Sunday Market where local artisans sell their products. You could get serious calorie overload from this lot!

and there is even a beautifully restored steam engine to take you for a spin around the old town.

Lisa of the blog NorthWest Frame of Mind has decided to run a different project over the next 24 weeks. To try to show what is happening in different parts of the world (if you all join in) at a particular time of day.

If you would like to participate you have until next Saturday midnight to post a photo or write about what is happening in your part of the world between 13:00 – 14:00 this week. I hope you’ll join in! See links above for more details.

Weekly Photo Challenge: On the Move

It’s not often you see a pedicab in England, the one above is taken in the Quarry, Shrewsbury.

Or if you want to do the work yourself why not hire a multicycle? Though it could prove difficult if you have a couple of back-seat drivers 🙂

Travel Theme: Rivers

Ailsa of “Where’s My Backpack?” is up the creek without a paddle – or in other words, would like to see RIVERS this week. If you would like to join in with her challenge then please do. Everyone is welcome.

Having shown several images of my local rivers, the Teme and the Corve, this week I have a couple of shots of the River Severn in Shrewsbury, where it loops around the town almost creating an island.

Above (header) is a photo of the Boathouse. It is situated on the fringes of Frankwell and Kingsland, beside a recently refurbished foot-bridge (below) that carries walkers into Quarry Park. In mid summer the patio buzzes with joyful chatter and clinking glasses as patrons sit with a view across the Severn as it snakes its way through the town. Surprisingly there aren’t many pubs by the side of the river and this is probably the best.

The ‘Sabrina’ is available for gentle cruises along the river through Shrewsbury, a nice way to see the neighbours.

Have you taken a river cruise in England?

Cape Town: A Circular Drive to Cape Point

Now you have had a taster of what to expect in the Mother City, it is time to take a drive around the peninsula to find penguins, ostriches and take one of the most scenic drives in the world.

Maybe you have visited Cape Point? Did you enjoy the trip? And maybe one of my South African buddies will be able to add more places you could stop by at on this route that I have forgotten to mention.
