This is my first English breakfast in Debden England
Catching the train to go to Ludlow England and then on to Knighton where my ancestors lived for 3 generations.
The English countryside is as beautiful as it is portrayed. It is so green and lush and it goes on and on.
When we arrived in Ludlow we went to get our airbnb room. We found out we had the entire house to ourselves. It was built in the 1600's and the lady who let us in said that her father had lived in it at one time. I felt like I was living in a storybook. It was lovely and we got another full English breakfast in the morning. Ludlow is a very charming town and if given the chance I would go back there again. We had such a great night sitting in the room upstairs and reading Dickens. Well, I read Dickens while Katie worked on her paper.
This is the front door and entryway to the house.
The house had 3 stories.
Ludlow has a great castle and an incredible church both built in the 1100's by the Normans. It was so fascinating and interesting.
There is a lovely river that flows through Ludlow called the Temes. This is not the best photo I took. The best one is on my phone. Unfortunately we have had spotty wifi and because my tablet is a surface I have to use a program to download my iPhone photos and then transfer them to the tablet and it takes forever, so I have to make do with my camera. The next blog when I can get to it will be about my journey to my ancestral home of Knighton. It was incredible! I went to all of the towns they lived in and all of the churches they were christened in, buried in or married in. It was a 3 hour journey among the hamlets where they lived. It was very emotional for me. Cheers!
