So often security gates and grilles spoil a good photo, or just plain stop you from getting where you need to stand for the best shot. Here they add an interesting texture to an otherwise uninspiring view.

Day 75 – The Last Inn…
‘All this long day I have sought for good ale, and now at The Last Inn I found it’
Day 74 – Full Steam Ahead…
One of my winter ‘evening’ projects this year is to build a small model railway. I’d made a half-hearted attempt to build one previously, but it didn’t really work out… The challenge this year is to build a completely portable layout, so this one measures just 50cm x 50cm. It means that realism is somewhat compromised, but it’s still possible (just) to have a continuous track, with a couple of sidings. 
Day 71 – What A Difference…
… a day makes. Yesterday was chilly, but with blue skies and bright sunshine, very much a spring day. Today however is even colder, the sky is dull grey, and it’s raining pretty hard just now. Those hardy souls venturing out are all carrying umbrellas. Feels more like November than March!
Day 70 – Spring Has Sprung…
It may still be a little chilly in the mornings (just 5°C this morning), and the wind is ‘fresh’ to say the least, but Spring is definitely on the way. Daffodils everywhere, and lots of white and pink blossom on the trees. Beautiful…

Day 69 – Gorgeous Girlie…
We had the pleasure of this little princess over the weekend. She’s growing up fast…
Day 68 – Blast From The Past…
Built in 1753, the Sandbrook Vaults (pub) is a Grade II listed building, one of the oldest surviving in Market Drayton. This used to be the main road through the town. 
Day 66 – It’s A Long Time…
Clock making in Shropshire dates back to 1690 when William Joyce established a firm making long-case clocks in Cockshutt. They moved to Whitchurch in 1790, and to the building below in 1904. The company closed some years ago, but the building has been preserved and is now used as an auction house. 
Day 64 – Who’s Looking At You?
Spotted this stone gargoyle on the side of a bank here in Market Drayton. The building is otherwise unremarkable, and even though it dates from the mid 19th Century, isn’t listed as having particular architectural merit. Scary though!
Day 63 – Threatening Skies…
Today’s plan was to get some jobs done in the garden, but the weather had other ideas… Several times I went outside, got set up with tools etc, only to have to beat a hasty retreat when the heavens opened. The changeable weather did however yield an interesting sky. This was the view from the top of our garden.
