Another local blogger.
Don't know if they know of the peril The Wrekin is in. But still,
another Shropblogger. First to link to us and send traffic to our
cause, I'll send a trackback ping.

Wet old day on The Wrekin
;newWindow.focus())
Yesterday, about noon, I was on my way to see a client in Shrewsbury, and saw what an awful lot of weather the top of The Wrekin was having. So, I stopped on the end off the M54 and took this snap. Thinking, "wouldn't like to be there in weather like that! Wouldn't be able to se your hand in front of your face." (Click the above picture for larger version.) # Posted by Steve Hooker at 30/9/04; 12:28:19 PM To the Personal memories dept. Discuss Comment [0] Wet old day on The Wrekin
Come one come all. Post some news! Now there's no excuse. At least I hope not. Here, is a How2: post a new news item.
That's one of these. This is a news item. If you join up, you too can
post some interesting titbit, gossipy story or indeed, a world shaking
news item into this very front page.
Try it. Don't worry there's nothing you can break. If you do make some thing that's not neat and tidy, I'll come across and clean it up. So, just try it. Even if you haven't any good news right now, post a new news item call it 'Test' or something like that and we'll delete it. Get ready, you never know when you'll hear something down the corner shop that we'd all like the hear. # Posted by Steve Hooker at 30/9/04; 11:50:56 AM To the How2s and site info dept.
