We've had a great last couple of days! We've been at Wroxeter on Monday, a livestock market on Tuesday morning with Concorde College and Shrewsbury in the afternoon, the RAF and Cold War museums on Wednesday morning, and took a nice breather with a relaxing walk about in the gardens of Lilleshall later on in the day. I 've been looking forward to today and our visit to the town of Much Wenlock and to the town of Ironbridge.
Much Wenlock is a small town, but was home to a man named William Penny Brookes who was the principal founding father of the modern olympic movement through the Wenlock Games. The town itself was very picturesque and we were lucky enough to have a tour of the Guildhall and council chambers!

We had a quick bite to eat at Lena's Art and Food gallery and were off to Iron Bridge to take in the beauty of the industrial revolution.

After a short look about the town and crossing the Iron Bridge (do make sure to cross the entire length of the bridge...no stopping half way and turning back), we went off to the Jackfield Tile Museum. Very fine tile work and many rooms of how tiles were prepared and where you might see them. Do see the gallery of some of our tour if you so choose!
We completed another great presentation for the good people at the Ironbridge Rotary club and were back home just before 11. Tomorrow is an early start for breakfast at 7:15 at the Lion and then we're off to our vocational days...I'm off to see a Magistrates court and an English probation office! We'll see how the Brits take care with justice!
Cheers!
