Following on from this brief thread on Ella Mary Leather and Herefordshire folklore generated by a recent podcast by the wonderful @icysedgwick.bsky.social I thought I'd even things up across the county border with a post about Charlotte Burne's work in #Shropshire

I've several stories about the meaning of a 'tuppence dish' - wondering if you have a definitive one (and who was Martha Rhoden anyway)? 😱

The Cross Foxes, Shrewsbury. Loved it. Locals shouted ‘mind yer ‘ead’ as we walked in, the ceiling isn’t forgiving if 6ft plus. Pint of bass and scampi fries. Perfection.

My favourite pub in Shrewsbury, The Nag’s Head. They promised fine dining and they weren’t wrong.

🎶 I see bins of green, red ones, too.
All full of grit, for me and you.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world 🎶

Season's greetings friends and followers - may all your grit bins overflow with festive cheer!

One for @shroppiemon.bsky.social for his Delbury / Diddlebury diaries. A new old tradition of carols in Diddlebury, #Shropshire with Severn Valley Brass. A lovely community event in the cold evening by the brook.

Ageless as Christmas should be
