Hi Sue,
Have followed your Blog for a while, now you are only a few miles away.

Regarding the Shrewsbury and Newport canal check out sncanaldotorgdotuk and you will find things have changed.

This looks like a beautiful place to live. How green and peaceful everything looks. Bob & I have been looking around for years for a community like this. We actually have our eye on a community in Massachusetts called Veridian Village. We'll see what happens. I am happy I found your blog. Keep up the good work.

Fiona spotted your deliberate mistake - you say you are at Norton Junction. Does that mean you turned right at the A5? (Last year, when at the real Norton Junction, your blog implied the Tesco man came to you down the A5) (forgive our twisted minds)

Enjoy our old stamping ground. You're bringing back many happy memories.
