Place your bets everybody - the roulette wheel of photostream progress has been loaded up with potential additions so let's see whether we land in the red or in the black. August 2023 has been a month of notable arrivals but can you guess which of my esteemed galleries leads the way?
Anybody who'd put all their casino chips on WME Warwickshire has just fluked themselves a major payout I suspect, for the county of the bear and ragged staff remarkably finds itself with a bumper haul. Hatton Locks and Haseley must be held responsible for this sudden change of fortune, hence you can contemplate various views of wheat fields, dining orbs and sleepy churchyards. St Mary the Virgin does not let us down!
Also getting on something of a winning streak is the mostly dependable WME Birmingham. The Jewellery Quarter sparkles and shines thanks to Pope Street, the Pig & Tail pub and GD Parry's stonecutters workshop - rumour has it I needed to check what a lapidary was - then we should acknowledge the assistance from Holder Road over in the Hay Mills/Yardley hinterlands. Another appearance for Stan's Transport Cafe in Handsworth feels bittersweet now that said greasy spoon has alas ceased trading - no more belly-busting breakfasts there anymore...
Edged into third place but nevertheless grateful to be on the podium is WME Staffordshire. Himley has to take most of the accolades for this (cue Churns Hill Lane, plus a sailing craft near the Great Pool) but Hardingswood Junction near Kidsgrove ensures some coverage from the Potteries and beyond. Greyhound Lane in Lower Penn isn't overly exciting but every little helps, or so the saying goes.
What else has been occurring? Well... deep breath... WME Wolverhampton helps itself to Heath Town's lovely Holy Trinity almshouses; WME Telford tackles Hadley heritage and collects Red Lees over in Ketley; WME Walsall admires the Aldridge treetop canopies along Hobs Hole Lane; and the quiet coupling of WME Coventry and WME Solihull wish to be remembered to you. Coventry claims a CADCAM factory gate on Burnaby Road, Radford whereas Solihull lands a Highwood Avenue bus stop. What are you putting your money on for the September stakes I wonder? Until then, enjoy the pictures.
