Despite the big number …………… we have just had a really nice weekend with our friends, Rosa and Richard. (I’ve been sulking about these increasing totals for the last 19 years!!) However, I was presented with a singing cake bearing only one candle! How kind! How sensitive! How utterly loyal! Next year’s reading books are now also safely on board – thanks, Rosa.
On Sunday we all piled into the car and went to The Wreakin – a Shropshire ‘hump’ 1,334 feet above sea level with 360 degree panoramic views. It was a steep climb to the top along a very well-trodden path and HUNDREDS of other people were doing the same as us. That did spoil it to some degree but the views from the top were phenomenal despite the misty weather.
From there we went to Ironbridge to see the world’s first iron bridge which was built across the River Severn in 1777-79. There are lots of different museums to go to if you choose to and the little town of Coalbrookdale where the bridge was forged is touristy but ……… very nice.
Back at Wheaton Aston, I can recommend The Hartley Arms for good meals at reasonable prices.
AND ……… since leaving the marina back in March this is the first kingfisher we have seen on the canals ……………… at last! We have been very concerned about them.
Thank you everyone for your birthday wishes – those who forgot completely were my two children! Both of them!! Hey, Ho!
