Don't mind that you are in your PJ's, that was me yesterday, didn't get dressed till 1.30pm and only because I had to nip to the shop. What's the weather like up your neck of the woods today? It's wet amd miserable here in Shropshire. got washing over all the radiators trying to dry.
Coffee on the way.

I am hoping to be there. Ive been to Ironbridge, when I was a teenager. Me and my bro were doing family history research the old fashioned way, looking for rellies in Stffs and we visited Shropshire.

I love Wenlock edge,

It sure is a beautiful county, I've lived here on and off for 38 years, The off being when hubby was in army and we lived all over the place, but still called Shropshire home.

I'd better go and put it back on again Joan, as Caz and I have had ours. Whereabouts in Telford do they live? I bet you've seen the Severn then when it floods, I love going out of Buildwas on the road to Attingham and Shrewsbury, just before you get to Leighton, where the river meanders and causes Ox bow lakes, That is a magnificent site.

can you make another pot as i like my tea weak, so the first one out of the pot is just fine, weather here in cornwall is bright and a little sunshine today not too cold, just back from a long walk with the dog so a cuppa would go down a treat
thanks

Kettle's on again.
Joan could it be Sutton Hill or Sutton Heights, Sutton Hill was the first of the council estates that were built in the late 60's as part of the Telford New Town development, Sutton Heights is the posh side of Sutton Hill. there is also Sutton Maddock, which is a small hamlet on the road between Telford and Bridgnorth. I can see Dawley from part of the estate where I live.

Chris, whereabouts in Cornwall are you? I had a couple of lovely holidays down in Cornwall when I was younger. We will have to toss for the 1st one out of the pot. LOL

Hayle , It was a lovely area. Love Cornish cream teas and Cornish Pasties. Got some friends that live in St Columb Major, and Carol made the best pasties I've ever tasted.

LOL Joan. that estate has gone down alot since it was first built, mind you so has ours, but we are in the middle of a regeneration scheme at the mo, and it's looking better.

Me please,I'd really like a cuppa, always tastes better when someone else makes it.
I'm feeling rotten, head full, losing my voice, coughing. Should stay home from work but they are short staffed today and I can't call in or there would be nobody to give meds to 58 people. Damned if I go and damned if I stay home.
I recently discovered a Cornwall connection in my family tree - Roseland,St Just's. A "new" rellie visited there last year and sent photos, it's on the list for my next trip home.
