We were out in deepest north Shopshire today

[cmcmck]

I don't  know how many of you have read any of Ellis Peter's 'Brother Cadfael' novels, but this is classic Cadfael country a walk away from our front door. On the farm track from Wenlock's Farm and looking over to Ercall (pronounced 'arkle') woods. The full set of pics is up on my own blog now and open to view to anyone who wants to visit.

What a lovely photo! The English country side is just too pretty!!

[cmcmck]

We're at our greenest around now. :o)

Looks like a great walking area!

[cmcmck]

We know how lucky we are to have this!

Just look at those happy trees!

[cmcmck]

They always enjoy company! :o)

Don't let Prior Robert catch you gadding around the countryside, and be back by Matins!

[cmcmck]

I can always ask permission from Abbot Radulfus!

Is Brother Mark's hospice down this way?

[cmcmck]

That's a bit closer to Shrewsbury so about four or five miles off.

St Giles is actually on the edge of Shrewsbury these days.

The nearest place to that pic that gets mentioned in the novels is Atcham about two miles away, so Father Eadmer would be on the lookout if I misbehaved! :o)

Nice!

[cmcmck]

It surely is!

I spent some time yesterday browsing through your pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

[cmcmck]

You are most welcome.

Although bits of my blog are f-locked, I've always shared my pics!

And that said, I always welcome new friends. :o)

A friend and I visited the Cadfael experience in Shrewsbury and had a great time. This was before the great flood that badly damaged what was left of the priory. I think it took out the Experience, which closed shortly after.

[cmcmck]

Yes,that closed some years back and is now the headquarters of the Shropshire Wildlife Trust which is also worth a visit.

Severn is prone to misbehave which is why we're glad to live on the other side of the hills from it-they get the floods, we get the snow. It was bad again this year but that's all been forgotten with all the 19th crow stuff going on.
