Sometimes when I see an old locked up garage I wonder about the secrets it holds. Is there a beautifully restored vintage car in there, or just someone’s everyday transport, safely out of the weather? Is it full of sports and holiday gear waiting for summer or just a pile of old household rubbish to be sorted out? Maybe even something more mysterious? What do you think?

It’s been a good few years since we went on a package holiday, so really looking forward to our winter sunshine break! Hoping for some good photo opportunities too…

Not only is The Red Lion my favourite pub, but it’s also a brewery! The pub dates back to 1623 and the brewery was built on the site in 2010, brewing Slumbering Monk ale and Green Monkey craft lager. With great food too, it’s a popular stop on our walks in the area. 
It’s only really at this time of the year that you see the true shape of trees without any leaves on at all, and I’m always amazed at just how twisty the branches of an oak tree are…
I’m no connoisseur, but definitely an enthusiastic gin drinker, so this sign at one of our local watering holes really hit the mark…
This is Moreton Corbet Castle near Shawbury, in Shropshire. A castle has stood on this site since around 1100 a.d. and these ruins are the remains of a grand stately home dating from the late 16th Century. 
… a day makes. After the glorious sunset yesterday, today’s weather couldn’t have been any different. It started off dull and overcast, then a heavy mist with drizzle seemed to overtake the whole landscape, blotting everything out and making driving difficult. Let’s hope for better tomorrow. 
When we moved to the area, this was a Methodist Chapel, but was abandoned soon afterwards due to lack of use. For a while it was a furniture workshop, but looks pretty run down now with an old caravan dumped outside. I wonder what the future holds for this old building? 
… deserves a decent breakfast. Good to have several breakfast opportunities all within a couple of miles walk. n.b. This was just the small breakfast – got to save room for lunch later!
The Cherry Tree Hotel near Whitchurch must have seen some lively times over the years, both in it’s previous incarnation as the Witch Ball Inn, and latterly as a night club. It’s been abandoned for many years now and completely derelict. Project anyone?
