Phew caught up. The lovely ponies on the Long Mynd, day 13 in the #Shropshireadvent
🎄It’s Day 13 of our #Shropshire advent calendar, and here are some ponies on the Long Mynd after overnight snow. Beautiful to look at, but I always find that they are less co-operative to photograph than sheep! ☃️

Day 12 Clun Castle, hoomums family were living in Clun in the 1700's. #Shropshireadvent
🎄 Clun Castle is the subject of Day 12 in our #Shropshire advent calendar. In the distance is Sowdley Wood, which is part of Black Hill. I waited a long time to get a picture of the castle in snow, and I finally managed to tick it off my to-do list a couple of years ago. 🎅

Lovely Much Wenlock. Day 11 #Shropshireadvent
🎄 Christmas lights twinkling in the heart of Much Wenlock feature in Day 11 of our #Shropshire advent calendar. On the right is the beautiful half-timbered Guildhall, while in the foreground is the clock tower which commemorates the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897. ☃️

Day 10 a cold Titterstone Clee bbrr. #Shropshireadvent
🎄 It’s Day 10 of our #Shropshire advent calendar, and here are the radar domes standing like sentinels on Titterstone Clee. I spent a bitterly cold few hours up on the summit, walking around taking pictures in the late afternoon sunshine with the frozen grass crunching beneath my boots. 🎅

Day 9 is Shrewsbury. I'm a lucky girl living in beautiful Shropshire. #Shropshireadvent
🎄 Day 9 of our #Shropshire advent calendar takes us to historic Fish Street and St Julian's Church in Shrewsbury with - amazingly - no parked cars in sight! The street takes its name from the open air fish market which was held here until Victorian times. ☃️

Day 8 is Clunbury, might get the hoos to take me there in the summer #Shropshireadvent
🎄 Day 8 of our #Shropshire advent calendar is the village of Clunbury, seen from Clunbury Hill. The path leading up was more like an assault course - I had to get down on my hands and knees in order to crawl under snow-covered branches. Behind the village is Clunton Hill with Bury Ditches beyond. 🎅

Day 7 is Ironbridge. Was there on Thursday, the hoos bought pasties from Elys, yum #Shropshireadvent
🎄 Day 7 of our #Shropshire advent calendar is a wintry morning at Ironbridge, with the trees covered in a hoar frost. I spent about three hours walking up and down the gorge making the best of the conditions until the sun started to melt it all away. ☃️

Drat, I'm behind again. Day 6 is the gorgeous Stokesay Castle #Shopshireadvent
🎄 Beautiful Stokesay Castle surrounded by snow-covered fields is Day 6 in our #Shropshire advent calendar. I thought I’d just follow the footpath, take a picture and quickly head back to the car - but I had to wait in an icy wind for an hour until the sun came out from behind the clouds! 🎅

🎄 It’s Day 5 of our #Shropshire advent calendar, and here is a magnificent steam locomotive pulling into the snow-covered station at Hampton Loade on the Severn Valley Railway. A bitterly cold day, but the cakes and hot drinks on sale helped keep me warm! ⛄️

Phew, up to date now. Fancy forgetting #Shropshire advent
🎄 Day 4 of our #Shropshire advent calendar shows early morning light on the frost-covered balustrades of Cressage Bridge, with the Wrekin seen in the distance. It was very cold standing above the River Severn and I was glad to get back in front of the woodburner at home! 🎅

Day 3, nearly caught up, phew
#Shropshire advent.
🎄 It's Day 3 of our #Shropshire advent calendar and here is Bishop's Castle after overnight snow, looking down High Street towards the Church of St John the Baptist. When I parked up I could see that the snow was melting quickly from the rooftops, so I ran up the Street to get this shot. ☃️

Day 2. The lovely Stretton Hills
#Shropshire advent
🎄 Day 2 of our #Shropshire advent calendar takes us to the Stretton Hills and here we have the view from Hazler Hill, looking towards Helmeth Hill and Caradoc. The dark sky you can see was bringing more snow, and after this shot I headed up Caradoc and was caught in a blizzard for an hour. 🎅

I missed the start of advent so doing a big catch up..my county. Thanks @shropshirebeyond.bsky.social
🎄 It's the start of our #Shropshire advent calendar, and here is Ludlow Castle surrounded by hoar frost glistening in the winter sunshine. It was a beautiful morning up on Whitcliffe Common, but the cold was fierce and the only way to stay warm was to keep moving in between taking pictures. ☃️
