The Teme runs through Ludlow.

We crossed Dinham bridge again and you can see Ludlow castle in the background:

I thought this might be useful for anyone else who's resisting racism and xenophobia that's taking the form of "legitimate concerns" about asylum seekers. Most people have very little understanding of what seeking asylum in the UK is like, and the protests get a lot more media than the reality of these people's lives.

A few weeks ago, a group of asylum seekers living in hotels in Greater Manchester put out this statement, which is long but really eloquent on the miserable reality they face. It's available as a PDF here but I'll put the text behind a cut )

Today we visited the Charleston Food Forest, Coles County Community Garden, and Lake Charleston. These are the lake pictures, thus meeting my fall goal for birdwatching / leafpeeping. (Begin with the food forest, community garden.)
