Here we are in Shrewsbury and tomorrow we take the car back to Coventry and get our plane flight at 9.30pm.
The last part of the week in Long Compton involved a trip to Bourton on the Water, a pretty place with seven bridges across a little river. Many tourists that day.

We also visited the remains of a Roman Villa at Chedworth. It is a beautiful spot at head of a green valley. There is still evidence of the lovely floor mosaics of the baths. We spoke with a lady who, dressed in Roman matron's garb demonstrated and showed us ancient methods of weaving or knitting.

On Thursday we went for a walk through the woods to the next village of Whichford, about an hour or so walk.
On the way to Shrewsbury we stopped at Stratford - Upon-Avon for about an hour and had a look at the dedication to Shakespeare on his tomb in The Holy Trinty Church as well as a stroll along the riverside to the R.S.C theatre complex.

Ironbridge Gorge
Yesterday we drove out into the countryside and stopped at Ironbridge in Severn Gorge. So far today we have been to a sung Mass in the lovely Shrewsbury Cathedral and we will be having a look around the old part of the town later on.
