Mostly found cycling and walking in the Shropshire countryside, plus moaning about Football. Data geek in the NHS.

We rarely get proper snow like this in Shrewsbury, so it needs the obligatory photo, from 10pm last night.

We’re now up to 7 games in a row where I’ve not had to get up from my seat to celebrate a Shrewsbury goal. I thought football was an entertainment business? #Incompetent #Shambles #RolandOut

3 walks over Christmas, to escape the lergy that is raging through the family, for a while and the Shropshire scenery never disappoints

My first visit to the Meadow for a match this season, yesterday. We weren’t horrendous but we weren’t great either. Enough chances to have gone ahead, but didn’t taken them and then last 30 mins was dross. Other than Kabia we have no threat.

Early hilly ride in beautiful South Shropshire and a little bit in Powys, to avoid the worst of the heat. Was still very warm!

Today’s meeting, which I was dreading, actually turned out to be the one real ray of light amongst the recent plethora of 💩 and made me realise why I do what I do. The words of appreciation and thanks from a really good leader made my day. I needed that 👍🏻
