Another Bus Stop Mural

Passed this one many times when driving through Llandrindod Wells and finally one day managed to visit to get a few photos

 The mural has seen better days and in need or revitalisation or better still a new mural

 Looks like a hang out for the local hoodies from the scrawled graffiti

Spotted Cow

Newbury Classics

Taken a while ago when my wife & I were in Newbury on Sunday Morning

This Ex MOD Landrover seemed a bit out of place on Parkway and was and advertisement for the new Jack Wills store in the precinct which unfortunately was too far away to get both in the same photo 

This vintage Rolls Royce was in the market square along with many other cars

A Minimoke  from 1968

this was what was on the bonnet (hood) if you don't recognize it well I can tell you it is from the TV program The Prisoner I used to avidly watch this at night after coming home from the pub.

Morris Minor pickup I think this one belongs to the Berkshire Brewery a local micro brewery

A commer van, not seen any of these in quite a while

An MGA which was made down the road in Abingdon

and last but not least another Morris in the guise of a Minor Van this time.

The cars were an advertisement for a local classic car show coming up which I wish I had gone to still can't win them all.

Four Saints

 

Last three photos from the Holy Trinity church in Llandrindod Wells. The first  two show the Saints which churches in the Benefice are named after and the third is a beautiful hanging that has been embroidered.

A closer look showed this wonderful Red Kite on the wing

Occasional we are very lucky to spot the wonders of nature in our own gardens.

  One of the first roses to bloom, Rosa Xanthina 'Canary Bird' is one of Francine's favourites. A must in any garden.
