A cloudy Monday evening on the Cliffe, where the central heathland is now awash with the purple haze of common heather (and the calls of the chattering local Linnet population) 🎶 #Shropshire 💜💚

More evening sky shots from my Midsummer cycle ride around the Shire last night: #Shropshire #Midsummer 🌄🚴
Managed to drag myself away from the World Cup to watch the sun setting over the Cliffe and Cadair Berwyn this evening - and it was definitely worth it 😍 #Shropshire #Midsummer 🌄🚴
From staring in wonder at my Dad's copy of Beatles For Sale, to going into town with my Grandad to buy my first LP (McCartney 2), and all the way to his wondrous new record, it feels like this inspirational person has soundtracked my whole life - and always made it better. Happy Birthday, Paul! 🎂♥️
A couple of very heavy dudes: a Wyvern and Chimera at Moreton Corbet Castle from a few weeks ago: #Shropshire 🐲
The Daily Record: I've only listened to it four times today 💉 There are simply not enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe this masterful album. Stunning, sublime songcraft of the very highest order 🔥🔥🔥 #PaulMcCartney #TheBoysOfDungeonLane 🍄
Really good to be back in Os today for the first time in a while. Like most towns these days, it's a little careworn in places but Church Street still bustles as of old and I enjoyed revisiting the technical institute - where my Grandad studied in the 1920s! #Oswestry #Shropshire 🌇
Well, it's taken me over half a century but today I finally got to catch a train at Oswestry Station and it was an absolute thrill 🤯 #Shropshire #Railways 🚉
