…in Poole, in the rain

I noticed a number of these pretty brass plaques (head down, in the rain!) but it wasn’t until I got home I found out what they were all about!
They form part of the Poole Town Cockle Trail, you can get a leaflet from the museum and follow the numbers learning some of Poole’s history.
I couldn’t find number 75 but I did find this about the Antelope Pub

The Antelope has a 500 year history. It was a coaching Inn with its own horses, coaches, smithy and even funeral vehicles, and at one stage even brewed its own beer. In the 19th Century coaches left here for Bristol, Bath and London. This building also shows evidence of its earlier origins with a massive stone fireplace in the bar and wooden beams…

Another weekend away following the town trail then?

Look Up Look Down is inspired by Helena.

…at the garage waiting for my car to have it’s MOT

No, I didn’t lie on the floor, the car is actually suspended from the roof!

and this was lying on the floor. Perhaps it fell over on the slippery surface?

My car passed it’s test (with just a couple of tweaks and pounds, ouch!) but hooray! another years motoring in it.

Thanks to Helena for the inspiration to make these pictures.

…on the dog walk

Today I took my long lens with me when Pepsi & I went on our walk, big mistake. The lens is too long (banging about on my midriff!) and too heavy to use, even with a very fast shutter speed, with an excited, very bouncy greyhound on the end of a lead…

I liked the yellows in this pair. The yellow of the pollution against the fresh yellow of the daisy appealed to me.
I went out with the intention of looking for some up & down pictures, I love how this meme does that. Thank you Helena.

…just walking about, enjoying the beautiful weather, thinking about this meme.

…watching the crazy pigeons, they were scrapping today looking for food and nesting material, not a peaceful bird!
