J is for Journey

J is for Journey and what better than an away day Jaunt on this Leyland Leopard bus - seen in Shrewsbury at the weekend - perhaps we could travel in January - June or July - you choose!
We could sing Joyful Jingles or listen to Just Jazz Who will join me for a Jubilant Journey to celebrate the letter J ? More letter Js can be found at ABC Wednesday - Join me and we will call by!

  1. I'd be the fist to join you on that lovely old bus. I assume it is a very early version of what we used to call "The Midland Red". When I was a nipper they used to run into Birmingham up the Bristol Rd. We used to catch one into 'town' if the Corporation buses were full. The only snag was - they were twice the fare! :(
    Cheers....Bernard.
    ps If you want a slightly larger video from YT (ie column width), you can click on 'custom' and enter any size you fancy. I notice yours here is width 420.
    If you change that to, say, 450 before downloading it will be slightly wider.
    Unless you know your column width, it is a bit of 'trial & error'. Cheers.

  10. Hello Jane, loving your blog, your pictures make me feel at home ! I used to live close to Church Stretton in the hills, it's good to talk to a fellow Salopian.
