A Glorious Shropshire Morning

WE woke this morning to a glorious bright Shropshire morning, not a gray rainy day we had expected. As we sat having our morning cup of tea we where debating what we should spend the day doing. We finally decided we should head out in the Welsh hills. We where soon ready and on our way in the Kangoo as we did not want to get our new car dirty as Daddy had just finished valeting it. We headed through a very deserted Oswestry town and out into the Tanat Valley, Memories both good and bad came flooding into our minds as we drove along listening to Ray Quinn. By the time we reached Llangynog a beautiful small welsh village surrounded by the Milltir Cerrig mountain pass. We then headed down through Llanfyllin and out to Welshpool by the time we reached Trefnanny Kellyn and i where playing a game of spot, a great game to keep a toddler like Kellyn occupied spotting Sheep Tractors, Farms anything really as we drove through the breath taking welsh countryside on our way to Welshpool where we stopped to walk around the shops. Both Daddy and i glowed with pride as we where stopped a number of times by people commenting on our two Children. After having some dinner Kellyn asked if we could go and find some trains, Which seemed a good idea even coming from a 2 year old so, off we set along the Welshpool of Llanfair Railway line. Unfortunately we didn't find any trains on our journey but Kellyn was quite happy to visit some coal trucks instead. While Daddy occupied Kellyns desire for trains i wondered across the River Banwy. Time was now getting on so we decided to head back to home the long way round through Llandrino. It was a lovely fun day with the Children and i took some fantastic pictures which you can look at by using the following link http://s416.photobucket.com/albums/pp247/georginamchugh/
