I'm glad you posted that. I was trying to work out what the ingredients were for "10 green bottles" assuming it to be a main dish.
P. S. I haven't been in Stone centre for a while.

The southernmost of the two A51/A34 roundabouts in Stone used to have quite a nice array of flowers around this time of year, if you were able to notice them whilst traversing it.
It all got a bit churned up during the roadworks last year, but that does seem to have triggered this rather timely burst of poppies.

The Good Food Chain enters liquidation, having failed to survive an inquiry into what looks like nothing that they were at fault over.

After my Burston trip mentioned elsewhere, I decided to cycle home via Aston-by-Stone, a place I haven't visited since the one time I went there in the late 70s.
It's well worth a look, although the few natives that I encountered seemed a little 'Royston Vasey', at least to me.
It does have a couple of nice churches.
This is the C of E Saint Saviours.
Aston, like Great Haywood, is unusual in having an old Catholic church, Saint Michael Archangel, a rare thing outside a town in England.
Not an easy building to get a good picture of.
From there, I cycled alongside the A34 until I could nip down the lane towards Enson, then up to Marston and back along Common Road.

Plans have been submitted to turn a motorcycle sales court into a Starbucks drive thru in Stone. It's the place opposite the BP garage on the A34
