Birthdays and travel pics

Firstly - Happy Birthday borgmama1of5, hope you have a lovely day! Here's some Demon!Dean for you.

A pencil sketch finished off on PS. The original is in my sketchbook back in Shrewsbury so it won't get finished until I visit my Mum again.

Totally unrelated...

While I was up in Shrewsbury a week or so ago, we had a day trip to Ludlow. Mum has to have her morning coffee fix, so we went in The Feathers, which is a gorgeous 15-16th building. It was built as a house, but has been an inn since the 1600s. I took a few snaps with my phone to show y'all.

I'm from California. I cannot even fathom a house that old (and beautiful!) being so cavalierly turned into a COFFEE SHOP. We have a few things here that old, Spanish missions and pueblas and such, but we turned them all into national landmarks.

Ha ha it's a pub and hotel as well as a cafe. If you scroll up the comments you can see photos of one of my town's historic buildings (first built in the 1400s) which is now a Lakeland shop. It used to be a bookshop which felt much more appropriate than kitchen-wares!
