Flower Pram

A rather charming arrangement seen outside one of the on street plant seller’s in Lacock recently.

Finger Bobs

The usual item on sale on the streets of Lacock are plants. These were a cheerful alternative.

International Photographer of the Year

Just one week left to see these at Lacock Abbey, or some of them can also be seen at Westonbirt Arboretum until May.

Morgan

I visited Lacock with friends recently and there also appeared to be a Morgan owners outing there that day as the National Trust car park was full of them. All were neatly turned out and brightly polished. How the umbrella stayed in place on this particular car when on the move was most intriguing.

Arrow Lines

Whilst I’ve been in the old brewhouse at Lacock Abbey before, I can’t remember there being a stairway so you can explore upstairs. I found this at the foot of the stairs on the way down. I think it must be a stonemason’s mark?

That Window

This is one of the most important windows in the world. It was the subject of the first ever photograph printed from a negative (by William Fox Talbot at Lacock Abbey). It’s not the grandest of windows there and it’s not even marked out as such, but having seen the photograph in the adjacent Fox Talbot museum, I know this is the one.

Stonework Detail

Shhh, we’ve snuggled up for winter

Ladybirds (ladybugs) as found in the grounds of Lacock Abbey last Sunday.

Open Garden

Seen in Lacock Bakery window 3/7/2009.

Afternoon Delight

A rather dodgy sounding ice cream van and the brightest possible display of cerise geraniums.

Just a normal afternoon at the local garden centre…
