Monty Dog and I had some good stick chasing games in the gorge behind Buxton Quarry, #AllStretton, #Shropshire this morning. It was proper wet and slippy. Four legs better than two.

Monty Dog and I had hoped to walk up to Haddon Hill and across the #ChurchStretton #Shropshire golf course this morning but the rain gods were having none of it. We were proper soaked by half way up Batch Valley and headed home.

Didn't manage to catch Matt's show this year as it didn't come anywhere close enough for an evening out. That was a legitimate concern I think?
Looking forward to seeing it live on Zoom this Sunday.

I guess it's been there for thousands of years but it was new to me and Monty Dog this morning, and we had it all to ourselves. Light Spout Waterfall above Carding Mill Valley, #Shropshire . Great to be out walking a bit further again after some surgery recently.

A rather grey, drizzly day but the morning dog walk up the Batch Valley #Shropshire always has something colourful to enjoy.

Spotted a toad while putting the bin out for collection this evening. I saw a remarkable resemblance to someone in the news.

Found a tiny little toad this morning on my walk with Monty dog under Novers Hill in #Shropshire. Size of my thumbnail. Might have been a prince of course but I didn't kiss it to find out. Would have been rude to as I hadn't brushed my teeth yet.

Missed 'em. Those #Shropshire faeries are really tricky to catch and flew off just as I was lining up the perfect shot this morning.

Racing again this week, for Paramount Cycle Racing Team. 10 miles TT. First time out on a 1970s Harry Quinn I have restored. Lovely to ride but not as fast as modern bikes (and younger riders). Came last but loved it.

Lawful protest or terrorists blocking the road?
Actually was a theatre troupe who travelled with a LeJog ride I did in 1990. The angry scarecrows in a field on the Wenlock Edge and the alien tourists inspecting our campsite in Upton on Severn were some other memorable acts.

Was representing a candidate outside a polling station (Atcham, #Shropshire)
this morning. So quiet. Three or four voters in a couple of hours. Maybe lots of postal votes? I'll be at the count tomorrow. Will be interesting to see the turnout. Looks like every vote could really make a difference.

Jonathan's Rock above the Batch Valley in #Shropshire this morning. Found a new (to me) track up there from the gully, which is is getting a bit easier to navigate as the terrain dries out. Starting to see a few more lambs up on top.

BBC Radio 4's Any Questions in the village hall at All Stretton in the #Shropshire Hills this evening was good. I certainly didn't agree with some points made but it's important that this kind of debate can happen here.

Wild ponies on Novers Hill above All Stretton. There are one or two new lambs about too but we didn't see any today.

To mark #ShropshireDay I cooked up a Shropshire Fidget Pie. @gardeningwitch.bsky.social had second helpings so I think it was OK.
