2017-05-26   London to Ludlow


(Written on 2017-05-29)

There were a lot of police at Paddington station because of the terrorist attack in Manchester on the 22nd.  They had dogs sniffing around.   I was glad to get out of town.





This is the Airbnb apartment I got in Ludlow, right in the center of town.  It was nice to have some space after the tiny little room I had in London, tripping over my suitcases.








The market square outside the living room window.

Ludlow Castle and Castle Lodge were just a few steps away.

Castle Lodge is where Catherine of Aragon lived for about a year.   (Henry VIII's first wife).
They say her ghost still lingers there.  
There was a ghost hunt there on Saturday night (9pm to 3am), where they take in all the electronic equipment to see if they can detect any presences.  I wonder if they found anything. 

I went in there on Saturday afternoon.   It was definitely a little spooky, but more so because of the old man who lives there all alone in the creaky old house.
