Explore Darwin's hometown, Shrewsbury.

🌈 I traveled through time to Charles Darwin's hometown, the centuries-old town of Shrewsbury. Here, every stone on the high street seems to tell an ancient story. 🛣️🕰️ As you stroll through the town, you'll find shops and pubs that are four or five hundred years old, still retaining their original appearance, as if you could see medieval merchants hawking their wares in the bustling crowds. 🏠🛍️ In a charming antique shop, my eyes were drawn to a piece of Chinese silk embroidery. The exquisite patterns and delicate craftsmanship captivated me, and the price was very reasonable. 🤩👀 Just as I was hesitating whether to buy it, my two little ones kept urging me to leave. In my haste, I missed the opportunity. Every time I think of this piece of art, I can't help but regret it. 😫👐 Shopping with kids is like going to a fair, never a moment's rest. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ But it's these missed opportunities and regrets that make for the most authentic and unforgettable moments of travel. The charm of Shrewsbury is not only in its history but also in those little episodes that linger in your memory. 🌟🧳

Old cobbled streets, a quaint little town and a cozy coffee shop. What more could you want during a trip to the UK? Whenever I go back to the UK to visit friends, this is the coffee shop we always go back to to catch up in. freshly roasted coffee beans are prepped for every cup, and they serve up the most delicious home-baked goods like brownies and rocky roads too! ☕️ Latte + Brownie + Rocky Road! 📍 Ginger and Co., Shrewsbury, UK #coffeeshop #urbanexplorer
