Heather Kidd welcomed the respite from the awful summer weather as both Ludlow and Bridgnorth enjoyed bright sunny weather this week-end. Heather said "It is very difficult for tourist related businesses when we have so much rain but hopefully we can have some good weather for the rest of August to try and help them recover lost business.
