We're Salopians!

Yes Boys and Girls, we're finally here in Church Stretton. The movers packed up our Stanmore house yesterday and they loaded the truck and brought us here today. It was a good run .... just about 3 hours door to door .... but as we came north and west the skies clouded over and it started to rain just as we started to unload the truck. It has been raining on and off ever since, but that's ok.

We've seen a few birds already, but the big thrill of the evening was the BADGER!!!!! It ran across the lawn at about 7:45 this evening. I think it had been to the stream for a drink.

We've set up our bed, bought a few staples in the local supermarket, had dinner in the local Indian restaurant (quite yummy), and now we're sitting in the room which is to be John's study. That's because we found a co-ax connector in here and can pick up 3 channels on TV.

Our next door neighbours came over while we were out and left a card. I called and had a chat - things are really looking up now.

Time for a cup of tea ..... it's so good to be back here and in a real house at last.
