Yesterday the weather was glorious, so we took advantage of the sunshine and took a leisurely drive through the Shropshire countryside to Highley Station and Engine house. We arrived just in time for lunch, which we ate sitting on the balcony overlooking the railway track. We timed it just right to watch a couple of trains go by and capture a few photographs.
We then headed home taking in more of the countryside, stopping for a cup of tea along the way. I also managed to locate I garden centre that I hadn’t been to for years. It is now on my list of things to do on another day. Along Wenlock edge we noticed several scarecrows along the roadside, there was even ‘a scared crow’. After a bit of research I found out that they were leading the way to a flower festival at St Peter’s church, Rushbury.
Even though the nights are drawing in now, it was possible to dine on the patio as the sun went down behind my oak tree.
Cherie, do you ever stay at home for any length of time?
Most evenings
Don’t you just love bank holidays! What a great way to spend such a day. Good for you, Cherry.
They are never long enough
That’s a fantastic photo…you timed it perfectly so that there is no end to the train.
You’re very lucky that you and Mr C are of the same mind,enjoying the same in life,
It would be fare to say our interests overlap Which means that we can find lots of things that we enjoy doing together and a few thing that we bore each other with
I think both are essential for a balanced ,happy marriage. How long have you been married?
Sounds like a very good day, Cherie – and you live in such a lovely county
The Shropshire countryside is wonderful, I am very lucky
A Bank holiday without rain It’s been a great summer. I had planned to go once to the SVR but it was on a special event weekend & there was no appropriate accommodation left.
This summer has been wonderful. It contrasts from our 2012 summer
