Tanners ~ Shrewsbury

A blast from the past ~ A good story and a great meeting :~)

Thank you Nick. Yes good all round :-)

...und jetzt fühle ich mich etwas wie Oliver Twist...

You want more! ;-)) Thank you Lothar.

C'est bien beau de reserver une visite guidée sur la trace de Charles Dickens..Bonne soiré dominicale Rosa.

It was wonderful Malik, and we had such a knowledgeable guide.
Sunday greetings.

De Kypers Cherry Brandy, a Christmas Favourite and I don't mind if I do. Now you have reminded me of it Rosalyn it will be on my Christmas list. I like the feel in this shot and of this place, perhaps brings back a bit of reality to this insane world.

I remember my parents having that in the house Maurice, and it only came out at Christmas! A few years after this visit, Tanners let us have a quick peek into the old parts again. A lovely place to visit if ever you are in Shrewsbury.

What a great still-life shot, Rosa. I love the warm, golden colour. Interesting that you mention Scrooge and Amelia in the same paragraph. LOL. Cheers, Joe

Thanks for pointing that out Joe. LOL!! I think you'll get away with it though ;-))
All the best, Rosa.

I am sure I will get away with it, Rosa. Amelia won't read this unless someone shops me. LOL.

:0)

All the atmosphere specific to Charles Dickens in this excellent photo !!!!******

Yes, it was an amazing place. Soon be time to watch the film again :-))
Have a good new week Nouchet.

Very Dickens... and I love your PIP

Thank you Isabel.
Shrewsbury was the perfect place to make the film.

A splendid warm light that underlines beautiful old details.
All the best
Fabio

Thank you very much Fabio.
All the best,
Rosa.

Excellents choix d'images Rosa, bonne soirée.

Thank you very much Jocelyne.
Wish you a good new week.

Beautiful warm light I like the funnels and the boots and the bottles and especially the till. Beautifully ornate ones like that were still around when I was young. The PiP is wonderful.

The till is beautiful Jean. Now we just tap our card on a box....and the money disappears, life magic! Thank you for your kind comments.

A wonderful collection of items from yesteryear now only found in museums and as ornaments, I hope you make a good start to your new week Rosalyn

Yes they are beautiful Peter. Thank you for your kind comments.
A good start to the week as it's not raining. A busy one for me again.
I hope you also have a good new week.

WONSERFUL FINDS AND ADVENTURE

Thank you Pam.

With the warm colours you caught the Christmas feeling! Our shops are already full of gingerbread and Stollen...;-)

Shrewsbury in general has that feeling in December. One day I go visit the town in summer ;-))
Oh yes, the shops are looking Christmassy already! Have a good new week.

Lovely still life.
Visited Shrewsbury a couple of years ago.

Thank you Jaap. I remember your photos from Attingham Park.
Shrewsbury is 180 miles from me and have only ever visited the town in winter. We had planned to stay there this year in summer, but events prevented us!!
Take care and have a good week.

excellent , beautiful things

Thank you Annemarie.

c'est super bien vu******************
belle semaine mon amie ! bisous et prends soin de toi♫

Thank you dear Valeriane.
I wish you a good week too ♪♫

Beautiful light and a marvellous old cash register, though I suspect that is from a little after Dickens' time. Good to see Ebenezer's grave too. The meeting would have been a distinct bonus.

I would guess late 1800's for the till George. Dickens died in 1870. Our guide was absolutely brilliant. He brought the story alive, but not Ebenezer ;-))

Looks very interesting, Rosa ! A fine stillife !

Thank you very much Ulrich.

That sounds like a fantastic guided tour! I love this image, the golden light is just lovely and suits the period well. I love that old till and the bottles and funnels...........there's such a lot to look at and enjoy. A beautifully detailed capture!

I like the image in the PiP too.............did you leave flowers? :-))

Had our flu jabs today..........and then had a walk around Chichester in the sunshine. It started to rain on the drive home and we just made it indoors before it got too heavy. Have a good week Rosa:-)

It was a fantastic tour Keith. The guide was brilliant. He saw a lot of the filming so had a lot of anecdotes. When I heard an American was taking the lead role I was very unsure, but have to say George C Scott was brilliant. I didn't know until that tour that they left the grave of Scrooge, or might just have left a flower ;-))

Sunny in Chichester! Wow, lucky you ;-)) I have not been able yet to get a flu jab. Apparently they have run out! A lot of under 60's seem to be having them!
Hope you have a good week too.

Our amazing Government lowered the age at which people would be eligible for flue jabs on the NHS, but seem to have failed to realise they'd need a lot more supplies of vaccine! Can't say I'm surprised. We got ours from Boots........Jackie booked them a couple of months ago! Hope you manage to get yours soon.

I didn't know that until they told me in our local Boot's. I don't care if we have to pay for the jab but I can't even find anywhere local to do even that at the moment.

We've been using Boots for now and they're always pretty good. I'm sure other Chemists are doing flue jabs as well. I hope you find somewhere soon!

een bekende naam scrooge
en een een hypermoderne kassa :-)
mooie oude dingen

Thank you Fred.

A wonderful interior composition Rosa. Full of interest with lovely warm glow, and a nice story to go with it.

Thank you for your kind comments Doug. Shrewsbury is such an interesting place and if you are ever there Tanners is a must!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Sehr interessant dieser Ort, Danke für die Info ! Grüße MAIK

Thank you very much Maik.
Wish you a good evening.

This is all really impressive. My sister is an illustrator and I remember her beautiful work about this popular story. Have a nice evening my friend.

Thank you Anton. That is so interesting. I would love to see the illustrations. Take care and good evening.

A Dickens tour - how wonderful! I just bought a fairly recent biography of Dickens. Haven't started it, yet. Great shot!

He had a very interesting life Diane. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. When we were in Shrewsbury, we had a meal in the Hotel he stayed in when he appeared, doing readings, in their local theatre, which is now a museum. All the best.

If you get a chance, I think you would enjoy the autobiography of Mark Twain (another one I admire very much), published in the late 1990s, I think. A very eventful life, too, and a remarkable person.

Yes I am sure I would enjoy that Diane. I will add it to my list of 'to read'. Thank you.

Ah Yes I remember when and where we met. Gone are those carefree days when one could meet, .hug and have coffee together without having to search for a face mask.

I can't wait for those days to come again Amelia. We were going to Durdle Door today, along the Jurassic coast, but there were so many people that we decided to go further along the coast to Ringstead Bay, where there were very few people and it was almost as nice :-)

Da habt ihr einen sehr schönen Ort besucht liebe Rosa,das sind ganz tolle Motive,die man in deiner Hauptaufnahme sieht und mir gefällt auch dieser tolle,alte Look sehr gut dazu :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Sonntag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))
