After breakfast we took the pig into Stan James cycles in Shrewsbury. They very kindly fitted the pig in for some TLC and some corrective beahvioural training. The rear tyre had a hole in the side so needed a replacement and they suggest a new chain to sort out the gear issues so we had one put on.
After that the pig was brilliant. We seemed to fly for the next few miles to Ludlow where we had dinner. Neither of us had been to Ludlow before but it was very very nice.
The B and B we had booked was just outside Hereford and again we had come up trumps. It was beautiful. We were in an annex in a huge garden with a large pond with ducks, moor hens and chickens running around. We felt very at one with nature.
That night feeling very upbeat after yesterday we went to the local pub in the village only to discover that there was a singer on. The place suddenly became packed. While the singer was setting up he came into conversation with Jackie and after finding out what we were doing he dedicated the first half a dozen songs or so to us two.
It was a cracking night where we were made to feel like celebrities. The beer was flowing far too well. Jackie ended up talking to an ex farmer called James Barr who kindly gave us a lift home after closing. Top man. I dont think that we will ever forget that night for quite a number of reasons including meeting some amazing people.
