We were in England in 2014, home exchanging in The Midlands. As usual we spent many happy days exploring the area and delighting in everything - cities, towns and villages along the Severn Valley,the beautiful countryside, canals ....everyday a wonderful experience and with the magic of home exchange we were able to return to our comfortable house in Wall Heath.
In Shrewsbury, where Charles Darwin was educated, I saw this yellow Mini beside a 15th century half-timbered house and said to my husband "What could be more quintessentially English!"

"With a population of around 100,000, Shrewsbury is the county town for Shropshire, England. Set amidst glorious countryside near to the Welsh Borders, it is one of England's finest medieval market towns. But stuck in the past it is not!
The town centre is packed with timber-framed black & white buildings, steep narrow streets and alleyways.In fact it boasts over 600 listed buildings including the Castle, now a regimental museum and the world-famous Shrewsbury Abbey.

Charles Darwin was born and educated in Shrewsbury and all around you will find reminders of his association with the town.
