Sunday Evening in Toy Town

“I was born crying out and it’s come back to me”

Reflections from Ironbridge, Sunday 7th July 2024 (Author’s Collection)

Star Date: Sunday 7th July 2024
Destination: Ironbridge Gorge
Reason (Number 1): I needed a chat with the “Grand Old Lady”
Reason (Number 2): I fancied a bag of chips!
Tunes: “So Long, See You Tomorrow” by Bombay Bicycle Club
Favourite song on the album: “Home By Now”
Favourite all time song: “Evening/Morning”

Fancy a chilled acoustic treat of an album? Can I recommend the BBC’s 2010 album “Flaws” or perhaps you’d appreciate the raw joy that is their debut album from 2009 “I had the Blues but I shook them loose”. Listening to “So Long, See You Tomorrow” this evening has only enhanced my already overflowing admiration for a near perfect album and one day, one fine day, I’ll listen to their 2011 album “A Different Kind of Fix” and let it win me over and into my musical heart.

Here follows a pictorial stroll through my spiritual home of Ironbridge on a largely sunny evening after a day full of thunderous rain showers, 7th July 2024.

I hope you enjoy.
