Camels in Shropshire

Camels in Shropshire,

I received this postcard from GirlFromIpanema, which puzzled me, as I had seen Shropshire and the bits I'd seen didn't look like this, but of course it wasn't summer then and I hadn't seen ALL of Shropshire.

But GfI is big on truthiness, so I put my reservations to one side.

As matter of passing interest the term "barking mad" originates from the fact that there used to be an insane asylum at Barking in London. Just to keep a bookish flavour to this you will find this fact referenced in Peter Ackroyd's excellent book "London: The Biography" which is a slow but rewarding read.
