i wonder if these people named themselves 20th century scaffolding in the 20th century when it modern. now it sounds a little last millenium if you know what i mean. the sign is wrong too. it says they are overhead, but in fact they are below. unless you are standing on your head. which i wasn’t.
these poppies are for poppy (fresh daughter of funkypancake web-landlord matt and work colleague nancy).
this father’s day picture by kezia is spot on !
it’s takes just one hour for a complete revolution.
i think this is an early example of a dual screen analog/digital watch. unfortunately the digital bit seems to have gone a bit wrong as it’s showing 88 minutes past 16, which in our modern world would be nearly half past 5 in the afternoon. yet the hands show ten to four.
this place is gradually being eaten up by nature. which is quite nice to watch in a way.

what other zoo has a hub cap collection ?
and a phone box full of old boxes so you can’t get in ?
or guinea pigs running around the feet of fibre glass mammoths ?
we’ve been going to the funny little place called ‘wellplace zoo‘ for over 10 years i think. certainly before we had kids. and so i was saddened (but probaby not that surprised if i think about it) that it’s shutting down in September.
it looks like we’re too late to reserve any of the animals, but there’s some other stuff going if you’re interested. Ever fancied the zoo’s giant dinosaurs, or wooden bears.
the thing i’m going to miss most is the fantastic zoo museum with it’s curiously crusty mannequins and stuffed animals (nothing is ever wasted). i took a few final shots in case we don’t go back before it finishes, so watch out for their photos in the next few weeks
is this a hassock of some underpants ?
