"No sight ever pleases me so well as the snowdrops now in the wilderness," wrote the renowned botanist Edward Lloyd in 1668, referring to his garden and home near Oswestry. The house is long gone but along the path through its ruins the snowdrops continue to flourish and delight. #WildflowerHour

My favourite pub in Shrewsbury, The Nag’s Head. They promised fine dining and they weren’t wrong.

One for @shroppiemon.bsky.social for his Delbury / Diddlebury diaries. A new old tradition of carols in Diddlebury, #Shropshire with Severn Valley Brass. A lovely community event in the cold evening by the brook.
