NAH and I went to Devizes for the afternoon today, which reminded me on the way that I'd taken this photo last October of a front garden in the nearby village of Rowde. I'd like to go back when it's dark after a sunny day (so the batteries are fully charged) to see what the effect of the solar lamp 'eyes' have on passing motorists. It could be rather alarming to see a bush which glows in the dark!
Everywhere is full of Valentine's Day at the moment. There's special window displays replete with balloons, red roses, heart shaped biscuits and cakes with pink icing, chocolates, champagne, the works. Of course anywhere that serves food has some kind of Valentine's meal promotion. Most of them are the usual fayre: the one which stood out for me was at Wadworth's, the local brewery in Devizes. Their special comprises: a tour of the brewery, beer tasting, a 2 course meal and a souvenir bottle of Valentine Ale to take home at £20 per person. I hope the beer's not that strong, else there might be a bit of brewer's droop later on!
We're classy in Wiltshire.
Haa haa, thats great. I love a sense of humor:)

I especially like the contrast of the ball to the spikey thing (yucca on a stick?).
ReplyDeleteWhen ever I see the road sign to Devizes I start to sing The Who's Disguises, but substitute the word Devizes for Disguises. Thought I'd let you know.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteGenuis! ahaha
ReplyDeleteDecidedly unique :)
ReplyDeleteMy parents met each other in Devizes, in about 1941, at that hotel - the Boar? The Bear? Something like that.
ReplyDeleteIf they hadn't, I'd be someone else. Or I wouldn't exist at all. What a laugh.
Stone Art - welcome!

Cindee - I think they'd be rather alarmed!
