🎄 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. 🎅

Recently single, went on Tinder, found an incredibly hot guy, put on my best frock, went for a drink. He was so boring that at one point I started calculating the square root of 17 in my head - it's 4.122 something - and stabbed my wrist with a fork. Still shagged him.

Me & the wife don't bother with Xmas/birthday presents for each other, instead we wrap random things from around the house for the kids to give us. Best presents so far have been a single flip-flop and a remote for a TV we don't own. Makes life so much easier.

🎄 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. ☃️
