We had to drop the children off at Wrekin College in Wellington so Mrs Bolas Heathens and myself took the chance to carry on and go and do the new Telford Bookshelf cache near the Wrekin.

Yesterday, the family planned to go to the Transport Show at Weston Park with the children’s Grandparents (who live close to it). It sounds a bit dull, but usually has loads of vintage cars on show and some very enthusiastic owners who will tell you all about them! The number of exhibits was not great [...]
