A look at what interests me and keeps me sane in rural Powys.

There be MONSTERS here . . .
This wee chappy was in the Murder and Mayhem shop. I'd not been in there before, but they have a superb collection of crime fiction. I suppose this may have been a sheep in a previous incarnation . . .
It was on the half-landing in the shop, along with a lady in Victorian clothes, and bats 'n' stuff, and the sheep was static - well, you would be with a pole through your head!
I like the header too Weaver, but my daughter had to help me fiddle in Paint so I could get it the right size - 60% of 50% I think . . . It's a new shop which has opened up in Backfold. I didn't' dare go in as I saw a chap come out with an armful of Delphiniums, Stocks and I think it was Nigella. All my favourite flowers.
Yes, that's a lovely photo; sunflowers are among my all time favorites. We grew a row one year that was over ten feet tall when the bad boys finally bloomed with twenty-inch heads. Amazing plants, they are.
Catching up here.....getting very behind with everyone's blogs! I love the new header photo and what a great looking museum. Quite a fan of crime fiction so would love to visit.
Lynda - my dear friend MM sent me Sunflower seeds to grow this year, but with the late cold spring and me being ill again, they are still on the dresser, so I hope they will be OK for next year.
OOh, is it a walking stick?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new header photo.

ReplyDeleteSheep indeed BB - I have on just like it on my shelf in the kitchen but without that eye of course. I love your header too.
