I needed to visit the Madely dental practice to drop off a form for my mum and by the time this had been done it was time for lunch. After a bit of thought Western Park seemed a suitable place but on arrival, we found the café was closed.

We resumed our journey, pondering a suitable alternative for lunch. As luck would have it, I spotted a sign for Boscobel House which I know has a good café. I settled for a jacket potato with beans which was served tastefully with a side salad.

After lunch we walked to White Ladies Priory. I have always wanted to do this walk but on previous visits there has not been enough time. The sun was out bathing us in a warm glow and also showcasing the distant Shropshire hills.

I enjoyed my walk ‘there and back again’. Afterwards a naughty cake (blueberry and banana) was calling me… The cake was delicious, and  being able to sit outside in the sunshine was an added bounus.  A resiedent robin came to our table to share a few crumbs that had been left behind.
