This week on Love Shrewsbury

Staff at Morris & Company gathered outside its Shrewsbury headquarters today to celebrate the start of its momentous 150th anniversary year.

The rare business milestone is marked with an illuminated display on the rooftop of its Welsh Bridge HQ featuring the years 1869 and 2019 and the theme ‘Honouring the Past, Embracing the Future’ complete with a specially commissioned anniversary flag.

Sudden bereavement leads to some very strong and negative emotions. Finding ways to work through those emotions is challenging enough when you have the time and the space to prepare for a death, but when it is sudden and unexpected, this becomes much more difficult.

     I’ve been incredibly lucky. Or should that say privileged? I’ve driven quite a number of new Aston Martins. The N420 Vantage was the first, I got hopelessly lost in that one. Then came a Rapide, closely followed-up by a DBS. Next a Virage – they don’t make them anymore – and then another Vantage, an S, I think. Yes, that‘s right. It was blue, with suspension so hard it literally threw me out of its driver’s seat when I hit a bump on the Fosse Way.
