2nd July photo - hot not cool!!

Today's plans for a nice cool photo have gone awry!


I had a really good idea - go somewhere to get an ice cream and do a geocache as well - a walk up the Wrekin. But unfortunately when we got to the halfway up cafe it was shut!! It was a very warm afternoon to be walking up such a high hill - but there was a slight breeze at the top which helped a little. So no nice cool ice lolly photo - just a hot & sweaty hubby - not what I had in mind at all. Never mind we found a nice sneaky geocache and I have a good excuse to go looking for an ice lolly for tomorrow's photo.

I actually quite like this photo of Steven as it has - if you look very carefully - the steaming Buildwas power station cooling towers in the background.

It was so hot that there was a heat haze at the top - but you can see how lovely are Shropshire fields are.
The Wrekin stands 1335 feet high!
