The Shropshire Lad

The Shropshire Lad Hi, I'm Rich! A Shropshire lad at heart, but my camera takes me everywhere.

Join me and Arthur, my trusty canine companion, as we explore near and far, capturing the beauty of it all one pawprint and shutter click at a time.

So we're having a bit of a chill! 4 years ago I was residing in West Yorkshire and we had it on a weekly basis for about 4 months. This is Pecket Well near Hebden Bridge. Some of you Shropshire folk may notice its similarity to a landmark we have here.

Anyone care to guess where this beautiful thatched cottage is? It's not in Shropshire!

My trusty companion Arthur is very excited for this year's adventures. He's particularly keen on the weather to improve so he can indulge in one of his favourite past times - swimming. He's also partial to pubs. Like father like dog son.

Love him to bits.

What exciting adventures do you have planned for this year?

Happy New Year! I hope you all have a wonderful one!

I had a few hours in Shrewsbury on Monday, always a pleasure to be in Shropshire's county town.

One of things I'm doing at the moment is training to be a volunteer signalman on the wonderful Severn Valley Railway. I used to do it as my job on the big railway and it's nice to give a bit back to help keep this fantastic piece of heritage going for future generations as well as helping with the local economy, which the railway brings in along the route. It's also quite nice to play trains for the day! Here's a heritage Class 40 loco pulling into Highley yesterday, with the driver and my signalling colleague exchanging tokens which act as permission for the train to travel between the various sections of the line.

Ironbridge a few weeks ago. I never tire of it.

Not Shropshire I know but Yorkshire is fantastic and i did live up there for six years and I've published a beautiful coffee table book on it. Shropshire is in the process of getting the same love lavished on it and I will be publishing a book on our beautiful county next year.
