Hard to beat London for beauty on a sunny May morning before everyone else has got up. Old and new settling down together. One of the loveliest parts is #WesleysHouse.

Ever noticed the gaps, and intrusions of modern houses in an 18thC or Victorian #London street? Quite possibly the results of WW2 bombs. From 24 Feb you can consult the digitised #LondonCountyCouncil Air Raid Reports 1940-1945 in the #Mediatheque at #LondonArchives. These reports are such gems

#OnePlaceWednesday - the street I grew up in is now my #OnePlaceStudy. I started just doing my house history and it just grew! It will take the rest of my life and will never end, but I love it.Thank you to my parents for moving there and to #ShropshireArchives for their fabulous collections

Thought it was time to introduce Lola the Visiting Tortie (LVT). Climber, jumper, relentless hunter, minute attention span, neurotic, no respect for humans or their property. She helps to replace the chaos and entertainment introduced by our last visiting cat - Tigger-next-door.

If it was on the way from NorthWales I think this might be the A5. It crosses the Shropshire Plain and the countryside in your photo looks quite flat. If I’m right it might be is the Three Pigeons pub at Nesscliffe near Shrewsbury.
