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 223 – Double Trouble…
We had these two monkeys staying with us overnight, and for supper they were making their own pizzas. Total carnage in the kitchen!
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 220 – Chicken Tonight…
Our take on Beer Can Chicken… Chicken was rubbed with Jack Daniels BBQ glaze, and allowed to marinate for a couple of hours before being set up on the BBQ with cola instead of beer inside. With vegetables around the outside and the grill running at around 180°, it took about an hour and a half to cook and was delicious!
