Abergavenny Angels

The ancient covered market at Abergavenny has these eye-catching Angel Cooks hanging from the ceiling.
The sort of thing that would drive the councillors and officers plus other of the citizens of Bath in to Nimby mode.

Wendy Takes a Tumble

We were leaving for a wedding in Abergavenny at noon today, unfortunately Wendy fell leaving the front door.
She has chipped a bone in her leg and strained a tendon.
But she has received excellent treatment at the new NHS Bath walk in centre in James Street West and RUH casualty.

Pink Nose

Little Lottie pink nose take her favourite doll “Little Bu/&%r I can’t see where I’m going” for a walk!

Dyson Blade

Though they were announced a year ago I spotted a Dyson Blade hand dryer for the first time yesterday.
It produces an air stream flowing at 400mph. This unheated air is channelled through a 0.3 millimetre gap, no thicker than an eyelash.
A sheet of air acts like an invisible windscreen wiper to wipe moisture from hands leaving them completely dry.
It’s yours for around £600 + VAT; maybe I’m not hanging around the right washrooms!
This one is at The Mall Cribbs Causeway.

Ferrari

It’s a spot the Sam contest?

He’s reflected as all bad photographers were before Photoshop, in the One hundred and twenty-four thousand pound Ferrari!

Footnote: it cost £2000 to insure it for our motoring correspondent to drive for the weekend!

Heat reflecting foil from Apollo 12.

We were shopping in Wells today; in the Market Place Bernard House has a shop.
I usually look at his stock of antique barometers and instruments, but today my eye was caught by some space collectables including this piece of heat reflecting foil from Apollo 12.

Toddler Control

Forget about reins, wrist straps, and things to keep your toddler under control.

I think I’ve found the perfect way to make sure they stay by your side all the time.

Unusual Knockers

Part of a series of unusual knockers!

Nosy

A rugby fan holds the top from his flask in his mouth
to free his hands so he can clap his team.

Kennet and Avon Canal

Over 25 years ago the village organised a trip up the Kennet and Avon Canal to the aqueduct.
I can’t remember whether the barge had a breakdown or ran out of fuel but it makes little difference.
We had to get out and tow the barge home by hand.

Goodies

Thought it was the Goodies, but no one had a beard!
