We spent the day cleaning paving slabs and reorganizing our ‘coffee corner’ in the garden. It’s less cluttered and much more of a relaxing space now. Christened it with a cheeky gin and tonic tonight…

Day 228 – Storm Clouds Gathering…
Another appalling day’s weather today – pretty much wall to wall heavy rain all day. At least the forecast for tomorrow is more promising…
Day 227 – Words Of Wisdom…
You can’t argue with the logic or the sentiment, even if it wasn’t that warm today! Sign outside a pub in Newport, Shropshire.
Day 226 – A Stately Pile…
Stokesay Castle near Ludlow is one of the finest surviving medieval fortified homes in England. It was built around 1285 by a wealthy local wool merchant, and remained in the same family for almost 400 years. It is currently owned by English Heritage and is open to the public.
Day 225 – Beyond The Gate…
Our day away with friends was blessed with good weather so a gentle walk was in order. This is Southern Shropshire at it’s most beautiful. The view through the gate is of Corvedale, with Caer Caradoc in the distance.
Day 224 – Pot Of Gold…
The rather unsettled weather just lately has seen storms, heavy rain, strong winds and sunshine all in the same day, and today has been no exception. Late this afternoon a sharp shower followed by bright sunshine created this beautiful rainbow over the fields around us.
Day 222 – Job Finished…
In between the showers and high winds over the last few days, I’ve been cleaning our terrace area of the black algae that has made it a bit of an eyesore. Finished off by installing a rather nice pot stand which hides the pipes etc of the outdoor watering system. Looks much better now!
Day 221 – Gone Fishin…
This small pool a couple of miles from where we live belongs to a local angling club. It was completely deserted today…
Day 219 – Just Desserts…
After a full day working in the garden, a ‘special’ gin and tonic was the least we deserved, even if we were almost too tired to enjoy it! Very handy having our own ‘cocktail corner’ in the kitchen…
Day 218 – Red Letter Day…
Just sometimes, it all comes together! I was wandering around Shrewsbury this afternoon and saw this guy in a red jacket walking towards me, with a red post box and phone box close by. With the camera set to f8 and auto everything, I literally just managed one shot, and it worked…
