Hotel
In the afternoon after checking in we went into Hereford to visit the Cathedral which also houses the famous "Mappa Mundi" which is the only complete wall map of the world known to have survived from the Middle Ages. It was very impressive. We stopped and had tea and cake in the Cloisters cafe and then returned to the hotel.
Hereford Cathedral
Before dinner I even sat outside in the hotel gardens and cross stitched....... bliss !!
We then had dinner at a lovely pub a few miles up the road called the "Axe and Cleaver" a good ole black and white English pub!! Then back to the hotel for a good nights sleep.
On Sunday we had a large cooked breakfast and then went to Ross-on-Wye for a walk along the river (walk off the calories!!) Finally returning home in the afternoon feeling very refreshed.
Back to normal on Monday........ so here's my stitching updates -
My poppy card is now complete and ready for Becky to write in and present to her teacher next week. I'm sure she'll like it.
Then my progress on Country Idyll - some sky done, some more trees done, the horse is just about complete and then lots of confetti stitches on the wall and the man and girl. I still think I can complete this by the end of the summer!
This week Henry is back out again, I am going to stitch on him now and look forward to watching the 2nd episode of Torchwood at 9pm !!

What a lovely card, very nice.
Lovely stitching on teh village piece
Wow, that must've been a great weekend! The hotel looks lovely and I bet the "Mappa Mundi" was brilliant.
I once stayed in a fine hotel in Williamsburg, VA over Memorial Day weekend and had the most relaxing time. All I did was browse quaint shops, sleep and eat great food.

The poppy card is beautiful.
It sounds like you had a great weekend. We had some rain but it didn't bother us since I spent the whole weekend with my stitching friends and what did we do? Stitched of course. :)
