So that's what it was. It's been a tractor fest past ours tonight. Looks like John Barleycorn is dead for another year.

Helen Morgan's Rural Post Office campaign Sign Helen's petition to protect rural Post Office services

😠 I'm very disappointed that the Post Office is cutting services at a time they need improving, not axing.

βœ‰οΈ Outreach services are under threat in Cockshutt, Clive, Knockin, Weston Rhyn, West Felton, Ruyton and Shawbury.

πŸ–ŠοΈ This is wrong - sign my petition!

We did it last week, there's a brilliant walk in the 20 Shropshire walks book which we followed.

We've still got a copy of the Business Case for The Railway, different circumstances I guess but The Plunkett Trust should be first port of call for help with funds.

Agree with that Marc, a couple of people I know here used to drink with Mr Wood in Wem when he lived locally.

Hi Katherine, there are a number of grants available, such as this one although you've missed it for the current period. I'll try to find some of the others for you. www.shropshire.veolia.co.uk/about/shrops...

True. Two of those were in walking distance for me, never to return. We do have The Hub in Clive now which is great, lots of events and good beers though.

Have had a blocked drain outside of our house for over a year. I've updated the report a number of times and notified our local councillor. Still waiting.....

Amused that after Historic England posted about Henry Tudor Inn my DMs lit up with sceptical folk. Am I really more trustworthy on this subject than the national curator!? Have I cut through so that folk no longer believe oldest pub claims!? For once the story is true though 🍺

A much-married, philandering, orange-coloured, megalomaniacal narcissist, possibly mentally impaired later in life, Henry VIII died #OnThisDay 1547.

It's a bit less exciting on the other side of the road. Mainly sparrows, pigeons and blackbirds but we have two robins which I think have paired up in the barn behind us.
