Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
More signs of Spring. The willow tree buds look like little fluffy creatures.
We asked Mathilde; she said there's no such thing as a Shropshire Willow Dragon.
But the Bookwyrms went quiet, so maybe there is? Maybe?

We have a little hatchling seeking her forever home.
She's in our MightieMakers sh-op. So if you know anyone looking for a cheery little dragon to keep them company, please do point them in our direction.😊

The hills were all picturesque this week.

Photo of The Lawley & Caer Caradoc, aren't they stunning with a sprinkling of snow and a dash of mist?

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
We were chatting to a social media whizz who said we should share our face more often for security etc.
Mathilde refused to take part, as it meant leaving the boiler cupboard.
So this is me. Windswept & pink cheeked because; cold.
#dragonsofshropshire #shropshire
Hello DragonSpotters 😊
What a horribly soggy week! 🌧
Thought we'd share a photo of the water levels in Coppice Leasowes.
The little bridge is looking a tad heart bowed down, don't you think?
Poor old thing.
#dragonsofshropshire #naturereserve #shropshire #rain #wetweather
Hello DragonSpotters 😊
We had so much rain the Coppice Leasowes bridge turned into a dam!
Where's your favourite place to be when the weather is so cold and soggy?

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
We've been helping the Marshbrook Mudhoppers get to higher ground as their main territory is underwater.
If you go #dragonspotting this weekend please do take care as theres no sign of the rain letting up for the next few days.

Hello DragonSpotters
Mathilde & I were chatting over a cup or tea & realised; March isn't far away! Argh!
We still have Spring membership stuff to organise as well as this years Draw a Dragon posters.
*mild panic*

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Mathilde pointed out we forgot to post on Monday. Oops. Sorry. we're a bit discombobulated due to migraine.
Here's a picture of some pretty crocus. Lovely seeing little pops of colour amongst the leaf litter.

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Keep your eyes open for Heather Dragon Troupes; they are very active at the moment.
Mathilde advises you don't approach, they are wild creatures afterall.
Wild creatures with fiery capabilities. 😁 😅

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
We were sent a query from some avid adventurers today, they discovered woodland with signs of dragony habitation.
Mathilde confirmed this particular of wood has its own Troupe. Yay!!

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Happy Appreciate a Dragon Day!
Mathilde celebrated with lovely cake from the Acton Scott Farm Café 😁
Hope you've had a nice week?

Heres Mathildes first photo from instagram. 7 years ago!
Time flies, doesn't it?
She's as beautiful today as she was then, fiestier too. She may be small but shes scarily fierce.

Hello DragonSpotters 😊
How beautiful is Caer Caradoc in the late afternoon sunshine with a ginormous moon above?
#dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #shropshirehills #dragonart #winterweather
Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Woke up to a winter wonderland here this morning. How about you?
Mathilde didnt fancy joining us on our supply run, but she did allow us to take a photo of her by the pond. 😊

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
When you're out-and-about checking on local dragon troupes and notice the café is open. It'd be rude not to pop in, wouldn't it? 🤭
We'd had an absolutely splendid afternoon tea 😋

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Happy Boxing Day from a full-of-snacks Mathilde 😁
#dragonsofshropshire #shropshire #christmas2025 #needlefeltartist #mathildethedragon
Hello DragonSpotters 😊
"Nooooooo!" We said after finding a lone piece from one of the Winter puzzles under the desk. 😱
Mathilde suggested we leave it out & wait to hear from whichever "lucky" person couldn't finish their puzzle, but we felt that was a bit mean.

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Short post this evening as we are all zonked after a very busy day.
We just wanted to share the marvellous rainbow we spotted this morning. Isn't it a beauty?! 🌈

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
Teehee 🤭 BookDragons in their natural habitat. 😁
Resident artist took these into Burway Books for stock & they didn't even get chance to explore!
Fastest rehoming in history, gone in less than 5 minutes 😄 ☺️

Hello DragonSpotters ☺️
When you are out-&-about checking dragon troupes & see a sign for a cafe, it'd be rude not to pop in, wouldn't it? 😁
Acton Scott Cafe; beautiful setting in the old school house. Warm & cosy, piping hot tea and fabulous food.
How was your week? 😊
