ZOMG THE TOWN HALL ON LEGS!!!

(... erm... may have been indulging in some of Herefordshire's most famous export. But I always used to get very excited driving through Ledbury when I was far too young to be drinking cider.)

That's a very steampunk planter!

[I'm only *slightly* envious of your holiday :) ]

I like the colourd bit of Chepstow, must be recently done.

It was very impressive. I gather from the English Heritage magazine that they (and presumably Cadw) have been doing this to a few of their properties recently.
