New housing estate south of Oswestry
£400,000 boxes on an estate south of Oswestry town centre. With small gardens and plots and MDF flooring, poor build quality, lots of snagging issues and a commuter culture where people don't really know their neighbours, don't want to and seem placidly happy about it all.
Actually it is probably a 1990s estate. But I couldn't live on one.

Entering Oswestry from the south
Once of those generic Welcome to the town signs. Border Market Town it states. Twinned with somewhere.
I love Oswestry - it is so much more than its billing here; Historic border town, railway town, market town with its own unique character, accent and qualities.
I can vouch for the quality of the emergency dentists here. It is the third largest town in the county, after Shrewsbury and Telford but gets overlooked. Over the years I have enjoyed its pubs, hotels, cafes, live music venues and best of all its many, varied walks. I could very happily live here. It feels much more Welsh than anywhere else in the county and I like that.

Private housing drive on the south side of Oswestry
Nice. Posh residential avenue. Looks like the sort of place that you need a credit check just to enter. I like it. Golf club captains and lady captains only I am sure. You need at least three languages. Retired BA Captains welcome. Grammar school education. They know the Latin names of garden plants. Possibly ex-pats. Cars - Volvos, Jaguars, Audis. Widely travelled. They may well have a wine cellar accessed via a spiral stair in the utility room or garage. The wife reads Grazia. Wears Balenciaga. They ski. Grandkids are privately educated. They own property abroad. The daughter in law was a model or worked in PR. They have no pets. They never talk about their origins.

Cricket ground in Oswestry
Now that is a nice setting in which to enjoy the crack of willow on leather.
I don't think they use willow any longer. My old landlord used to grow them, and they were not willow. I will have to access my memory banks....

Beaconsfield Terrace, Morda Bridge
A very Anglicized name for a terrace in the Welsh borderlands.
We are a long way from Buckinghamshire.
I hope there is a Morda Terrace in Beaconsfield.
