Good morning from the #WelshMarches. The damp and gloom continues but I rescued these after the rain flattened them. They have recovered and light up a dark corner of a room.

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. Anemone blanda magnificent in yesterday’s sunshine. Today it rains again.

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. Rain! Once again I am considering building an ark - a different one from last time but just as appealing.

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. I cannot put up yet another grey and rainy pic of my scenery.
So here's looking forward with the bright cornus stems, a small rhododendron just coming into flower, and a large bee.
Spring not far away.

The first signs of spring are arriving with Snowdrops emerging from their annual slumber🌱
Though considered unlucky to bring into the house across the UK, parts of the Welsh Marches were an exception to this rule; with Snowdrops brought in to purify the house from Winter❄️. #folklore #welshmarches

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. Dogwoods now in full winter glory. Woodpeckers busy on the bird feeders, dislodging the squabbling bluetits...

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. Another very wet morning here to bring in the end of November. Here's another recognisable image from a sunny day in Chester earlier in the week. The cathedral in the background.

Fifteen years since From the Marches to the Sea
Start and end: the tobi-ishi to novels. The close of my early photographic period.
Still in print today. Thank you Logaston for having faith...

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. A calm view before Storm Benjamin, looking over towards the Black Mountain ridge yesterday in the sunshine. From a perfectly placed seat at Hergest Croft.

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. Spent the day up the marches in Shrewsbury yesterday. Always a lovely place to visit, full of history, good places to eat, and retail therapy. Discovered a new bookshop as well.

Good morning from the #WelshMarches. The little gem of a half-timbered dovecote dating from 1673, just up the lane towards Pembride at Luntley. On the 'black and white' trail through the Herefordshire villages.

Another Saturday in the #WelshMarches. This time #Hereford. The castle has mostly vanished, but Hereford Cathedral is small, but very special. Half a real #Romanesque treasure, the other beautiful Perpendicular. And a column in the most unexpected place.#medievalsky

If you're looking for a glorious 'off grid' break for a few days then go looking for The Granary and Crooked House in Brierley Hill (not the one in the Black Country 😉) you won't regret it.

Wigmore Castle, the castle was founded in 1070 and is a beautiful setting as nature and the old ruins have slowly merged together.

Ain’t that the truth. The border bones of the #welshmarches are very old indeed.

"Modern Wales has both a natural and a man-made boundary. Its natural boundary is its coastline, which bounds it to the north, west and south, while its man-made boundary separates it from, or joins it to (according to one’s point of view), England to the east. This eastern boundary was not defined until the sixteenth-century Act of Union, which united the two countries politically and legally. For a thousand years previously, the demarcation of Wales and England had been a zone rather than a boundary line, a zone known to this day as the March, an area encompassing most of the modern border counties created by the Act of Union – the shires of Glamorgan and Monmouth, of Hereford and Brecon, Montgomeryshire and Shropshire, of Denbigh and Flint." - from The Legal History of Wales by Thomas Glynn Watkin (2007) Image: The British Isles about 1300 from The Historical Atlas by William R.

Amazing views one cannot resist but to fall in love with: #Shrewsbury in #Shropshire
Part of wonderful #WelshMarches between #England & #Wales. The next bridge to the right of this one is called the Welsh Bridge & if you carry on walking the other direction &turn left,you’ll hit the English bridge.

Impressive Moreton Corbet #castle in #NorthShropshire. Started in c1200 as a stone castle with a fine gatehouse. Elizabethan south wing is a rare survival of a bold Italian-inspired design.Damaged during the Civil War, the bullet holes still visible in the walls. #history #Shropshire #WelshMarches
