We returned to Shrewsbury as OH wanted to do a couple of drawings of things seen yesterday. We called into the Museum and Art Gallery for a cuppa and saw this bronze of Wilfred Owen. Those who know their WW1 history will know of him as a war poet who was tragically killed just one week before the Armistice was signed. The coliseum figure is of St.Michael and the coliseum is dedicated to the local Shropshire regiments

@Bakers2 thanks for the Peterborough heads up👍
We are having a great time in Edinburgh. Been to lovely North Berwick on train today, easy half hour from Waverley Station. Zoo for us two tomorrow. Will catch up properly when back home.
OH and chum bird spotting. They are both gazing at Bass Rock.

I recognise that stance @Takethedogalong , having done it myself! Enjoy the zoo.
We drove the short distance to Swettenham, firstly for a walk through the Davenport estste before lunch then had a look in 16C St Peter's Church, which has been greatly changed during restoration in the 1720s and 1800s. The interior is quite simple, the main interest is the modern organ built by Noel Mander for Sir Bernard Lovell, who was the church organist for 40 yrs. We then had a wander through the Lovell-Quinta Arboretum.
The Mander's church organ and the carved norman style arches.
Early Rhodedendron in flower,Camelias and Daffodils and a ancient oak that caught my eye.
