After breakfast this morning we headed off to Shrewsbury on the back roads, through the narrow winding lanes, with beautiful old houses and blue sky. As we had arranged a Sunday lunch at the Redhouse with David's dad there wasn't a lot of time to explore the town, - we will do that another day -we decided to park by the River Severn and walk through the park. The park is known as the Quarry and within the park is a most beautiful and colourful garden known as the Dingle. Great photo opportunities! We headed back to Newport to collect David's Dad, however we got back to Newport a tad early so took the opportunity to enjoy a G&T at the Shakespeare Tavern.
We enjoyed a roast lunch before taking a drive to Cheswardine, a rural village quite close to Market Drayton. the Shooting Folly at Cheswardine is our next stop after Red Gables. On the way we found a delightful pub on the canal Goldstone -The Wharf Tavern. Such a beautiful day we took the opportunity to top up our Vitamin D and enjoy a glass do red wine (me) . We waited at Tyrley Locks for a canal boat, but were not lucky today. I would have loved to have seen a boat going through the three locks there.
Market Drayton was our last stop before returning to Newport, grocery shopping then back to Red Gables to enjoy the sun.
