A day for relaxing

We are now staying at friends of Alison’s family, so today was washing day. We spent the morning catching up with Margaret and Ted, doing our washing, cleaning the rubbish out of the car etc – general housekeeping! We only headed off after lunch, making our way from Peterstow to Kilpeck where we walked around the church, looking at the magnificent stonework. The roof of the church is lined with a number of carved faces and figures. There was also a Norman fort near the church, so we walked around what remains of that before heading off.

Our next stop was the town of Hay-on-Wye, a bookshop town. It was raining quite a bit while we were there, so we hopped quickly from shop to shop. Alison found a few books that will add some weight to our bags…

On the way to Hay we passed a sign to Arthur’s Stone. With plenty of time left in the day we plugged this into the GPS and made our way down some very small alleys to the stone on top of a hill. The site was very peaceful, and is a bit off the beaten path.

Finally, we went into Hereford to try and get an internet connection, but it was not to be! We will try a library tomorrow and see if we have more luck there.
