Monday 9th May
We left Hagley and drove through Worcestershire - lovely green landscape, hedgerows and lovely trees. We went through Shropshire next and green/gold fields. We have learnt that the gold fields are rape seed oil not canola. Bridgenorth is on the Severn River - we visited the steam railway like the rattler on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Did not find the cog train, but moved on to Shrewsbury - raining! Drove to Ironbridge Gorge museum - too many to see - part of the industrial revolution way back when! Bypassed Shrewsbury and headed to Oswestry in Wales. Rained all the way crossed back into Cheshire and then finally made it around another round about and reached Don & Fiona Seed (Rich's cousin) in Biddulph and their daughter Debbie and husband Chris and Danielle joined us for dinner and much laughter and reminisces over a lost cause - Zimbabwe.Another late night of chatter.
