The town of Church Stretton can be seen in the valley.
On the horizon, if you looks closely, you can see a hill. This is the Wrekin and is supposed to have inspired J R R Tolkien to write Lord of the Rings and is said to be the original Mount Doom!
Now to my giveaway! It is twelve months since I started my blog, so to celebrate I am giving away some goodies. When I started my blog, I never thought I would have this many followers and have met so made so lovely people in blog land and this is my way of saying thank you.
On my recent trip to London I brought back some souvenirs. I am giving away this rather retro London landmarks oven glove and a really cute London bus key ring.
Your pictures from your walk are so pretty! And such a beautiful day!! Your giveaway is so cute and generous! I love that little bus!! :-)

Oh Susie, thanks for taking that walk through the countryside for us! It's so beautiful, and I hope to see it for myself one day. I know my husband would love to see where Tolkien was inspired. He's read all of his books many times over! I would love to be entered in your giveaway, if you'll ship to the U.S. Oh, and Happy Blog Anniversary!
