A north Shropshire Winter

[cmcmck]

The trees and hedgerows are now bare:



This is the old village smithy (blacksmith's shop) in the village of Wrockwardine. -wardine place name endings are common here- it simply means 'settlement'. The rock in the foreground is the war memorial.



A tumbledown barn with much Winter growth:



There's always colour, even in Winter:



Winter skies! We got caught out this time and got heavily rained on!  :o)

I love rambling around the countryside with folks. Thanks for taking us with you.

That smithy is about the most English thing there could be.

Love the colours in the bottom picture.

It's a private home these days, but it still looks the part.

We have really big skies here.

Looks like a lovely walk, rain aside - thanks for sharing!

It's a bit of a favourite of ours whatever the weather.

I really like that first pic, so atmospheric!

The single trees in the farmland away from the local forest often have real character.

What a noble, gorgeous tree!

[cmcmck]

It's an old English oak that I must have taken a dozen or more times at various seasons.
