Walking: Llantysilio church, along the canal & river

Grey old Llangollen day... few wanted to wander the dismal!
St Tsylio's Church dates back as far as 1234,
was extensively rebuilt in the 15th century,
& is simple but lovely.
The geographical setting is beautiful...
the churchyard exudes peace & tranquility.
The Chain, rail, & road bridges cutely nestle together...
& the Dee valley is always lovely around here.

Other things were also happening...

A lovely thing in Sale...

Photography: Shrewsbury 06.26.

Coupla Shrewsbury nights, for Anglo-French folkdance band Topette,
& to get a bit hammered (ain't that right, lady?)
Self-induced unpleasantness during the night,
& early morning (ain't that right, lady?)
Great fish n'chips saved the day (eh, lady?)
We looked at loads...
& walked us legs down to nubbins!
Very pleasant indeed.

Photography: Manchester overnight

Up to the city to see Benin International Musical
(fantastic gig, by the way!)
There was also a lot of wandering the streets...
even got north of Great Ancoats Street
- that's always been bandit country for me
... not so much nowadays, it would seem.
Mayfield is a great resource... buzzing wi'families & wildlife
... then we went home!
