Thank you so much for your support of Five On Friday this week and in the weeks gone by. I do so appreciate it and have really enjoyed reading your posts. I hope that you will enjoy going to the new link up just as much and will continue to take part. I hope that I will still see you at my blog sometimes, I will of course still be visiting you sometimes too!

It does seem a shame that all of the Telford region doesn't receive the benefits of being part of a World Heritage Site, it just seems to be the Gorge and Valley doesn't it?:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-5605968418880584892017-02-28T20:55:24.904+00:002017-02-28T20:55:24.904+00:00Ooh, Ironbridge, one of my favourite places.

Sadly, while every effort seems to be made to preserve industrial heritage in South Telford, the same can't be said of North Telford, which seems to be a very poor sister. Your garden, as ever, looks fab and I hope Doris didn't cause you any damage. xMrs Tiggywinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262841220840086776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-44598280622828024942017-02-28T09:02:08.966+00:002017-02-28T09:02:08.966+00:00Thank you Brenda, the garden is still 'sodden ...Thank you Brenda, the garden is still 'sodden and squelchy' it being clay soil it takes ages to dry out and then when it does goes rock hard, from one extreme to the other! thanks for your lovely comment, wishing you a lovely week too:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-75158601192013070422017-02-27T19:13:00.008+00:002017-02-27T19:13:00.008+00:00I like the sound of the phrase 'sodden and squ...I like the sound of the phrase 'sodden and squelchy' although I might be less impressed with the feeling of it all. The bridge looks amazing and what lovely garden. Your pond 'heaving with frogs' should be a delightful sound of nature in Spring. We don't have any ponds nearby, and I do miss the frogs singing.<br /><br />Wishing you a beautiful week...<br />Brenda<br /><br />PS.

I went in the library in town years ago looking at the old newspapers trying to find an article from the 1960s which mentioned my 5x great grandfather coming to that area from the Forest of Dean. I did eventually find it but it didn't help in finding out exactly where he came from:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-77666561060234858742017-02-26T12:08:51.827+00:002017-02-26T12:08:51.827+00:00I expect your River Severn is very different to ou...I expect your River Severn is very different to ours but will have been used over the eyars for much the same things I expect:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-66375344488386730002017-02-26T12:07:48.364+00:002017-02-26T12:07:48.364+00:00Hello Tomoko, glad you enjoyed the photos of the t...Hello Tomoko, glad you enjoyed the photos of the toll house nd the newt, hope it was ok after its unwanted rescue:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-11734531289591506012017-02-26T12:06:40.976+00:002017-02-26T12:06:40.976+00:00Glad you didn't get the full effects of Doris....Glad you didn't get the full effects of Doris.
