Spent a wonderful (but cold) few days in Shropshire over New Year (30th - 3rd), stayed in a lovely cottage on a working farm in Lower Wood near All Stretton.
Had a pretty rough end to 2009 with one thing and another and we took my mum and dad with us, it was just the break that we all needed.
Never explored this corner of the country before and I have to say it is very beautiful, made even more so by the snow which thankfully did not cause too many problems, but the road up to the farm was very slippy and a few scary moments were had but thankfully the Laguna held on got us through safely.
Given the load we had in and the weather I was really surprised that it averaged 46mpg over the 5 days
Explored, Ludlow, Bridgnorth, Shrewsbury, Much Wenlock, Iron Bridge and Welshpool on the way home on Sunday. Even got over to the RAF museum at Cosford (very interesting visit, especially for my dad as he was in the RAF in the 50's)

Re: New Year in Shropshire
That's a very very nice Laguna. I'm not sure about England, but here in Northern ireland the new Laguna is still a really rare sight. What a shame, it's a gorgeous car.

I live in Shropshire, its a great place to go for a drive if a little quiet when you're looking for nightlife.
