Display is this week’s theme from Ann-Christine at Lens-Artists, so I thought I’d show you a few more views of Bishop’s Castle. It seems like a town that wants to party, or it might do, if it could stop feeling so sleepy. But then somnalent or not, it puts on a bright face.

And yes, the Six Bells inn truly is that vibrant shade of coral. It’s the first building you see as you enter the town.

There’s also a welcoming sign on the wall to any passing elephant who might fancy a pint of this hostelry’s best brew:

Back up the hill into town there’s another coral-fronted tavern…

And three doors up, opposite the Town Hall, is Bishop’s Castle’s very own Poetry Pharmacy, an independent bookshop emporium wherein a carefully curated selection of poetry and fine prose works are on sale to heal whatever ails. It has a cafe too, and a physic garden with a writing cabin that may be reserved at no cost. The poetry pharmacist also offers personal consultations, with suitable verses prescribed. I’m sure I’ll be writing more about this nourishing alternative health service.

And one last image: this from a cottage at the bottom of our street. I’ve posted it before, but it gives me a lift whenever I pass it. Up, up and away…
