    I’m almost certain you could make a low-budget, straight-to-Channel 5 Christmas movie out of tonight. You know the drill, a fancy big city media star gets stranded in North Shropshire just a week before Christmas. Her camera truck probably gets stuck in a field.

    Soon realising her life in London is hollow, she falls for the charms of both the Wem farmer and North Shropshire in general and she opens a Christmas gift shop in snowy Market Drayton. Ahhhhhh.

    To show our appreciation for our brilliant NHS workers, our highways team and our contractors are this week painting a special THANK YOU NHS 💙 message on the approach to each of our hospitals. Last night we painted roads near the hospitals in Gobowen and Whitchurch.

    Our invitation must have got lost in the post? We stand firmly with @SwindonCouncil on this - don't come crying to us when you're not allowed in next season's Councilbao Cup. Besides, @jackieweaver is from Shropshire. Sure she will back us up.

    A handsome young farmer from Wem helps free her and she’s intrigued by his charms…until his tractor accidentally sprays her with mud. Sadly the truck needs a new wheel or something and she will have to spend Christmas in the county.

    We know this isn't about us. It's about making sure you're all safe and things return to normal as quickly as possible. But we want to take a minute to say a massive thank you to our crews who are out across the county. Drop these guys and girls a like and show them your love!

    A plea from our friends @hedgehogsociety. Before you put your garden waste out please check for hedgehogs. It’s the height of their breeding season so mothers with babies, as well as individual hedgehogs, could easily be gathered up with the waste. Thank you.
