I think we may have a lodger...

 

Good pubs too...

 Only got to the Coalbrookdale Inn (which is magnificent by the way!) & 

The Huntsman at Little Wenlock (which is miles away on a gloomy evening!)...

gert beers in both, much broader offer in the Coalbrookdale. 

Photography: the Wrekin, Ironbridge, Little Wenlock.

 

Walked the Wrekin on the way to a few days o'Shropshire trudging...

plenty of achey bits at the end of the break...

badminton seemed a good idea coupla hours after getting home!

I love the domestic architecture around this neck o'the woods!

Gloaming's in by 8.15pm... dark back to campsite!

Walking: over the Chase (Chet to home)

Guess who got 'lost' around the bleedin' quarry again?

Miles extra... feckin' miles!

Long day... lovely light... good beers!

 

Allotment loveliness...

 

Walking: Ightham Mote

Fancied a bit of a longer stroll... thro' Styants Wood,

along Kent's byways & lanes... more hilly than anticipated...

The lovely St Lawrence church at Stone Street...

We did get to Ightham Mote. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon,

so much of the population of the south-east were visiting!

There is a major refurb & refit ongoing!

We had a mofo of a falling-out!

We had a lovely ice cream.

We went to the pub!

A lovely walk, but not a great day!

Walking: Oldbury Hill

Lovely NT campsite alongside Oldbury Camp, Ightham, Kent...

Plenty of walking straight from the site...

25 minutes walk to the Old House at Ightham,

best pub I've been to in many a year: gravity fed tap-room,

pickled eggs, salty snacks, chat, & beer!

The late wet was well worth it!
