Shropshire Life

Ah well - here we go. This is the second time I've tried to create a blog so I hope this will be more successful. I live near the historical town of Shrewsbury which is the centre of the county of Shropshire and built in a loop of the river Severn not far from the border with Wales. I have a grown up family and have recently retired. Life in Shropshire is certainly quiet. When I look out of my window all I see are fields, hedgerows, oak trees and distant hills. The village church is nearby and it has a soft bell which sounds every hour. I used to live in a big city and if I ever have to go back , it is for the shortest time possible; the noise and dirt are horrible. A country bumpkin! That's what I've become.
