@pthane@toot.wales @alexf24@mstdn.social @nobrainnopain@social.tchncs.de @kibcol1049@mstdn.social @tiggy@mastodonapp.uk @Fasgadh@mastodon.scot no a bit further South. The Severn and Vyrnwy . The lakes stretch up past Welshpool and nearly into Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury floods and as the carries on floods most places down the Severn. I am bang on the border with a house in England but garden in Wales as the border follows our hedge.

When I first got a job in Wales we lived in Shrewsbury for a couple of years as my wife worked in the West Midlands. We were high above the river in a newish estate near Montford Bridge but while we were there the floods around the cathedral were spectacular. How does council tax and services work for you across the border?
