But purple nevertheless; I couldn't resist posting this purple child's toy washed up at the high water mark of a local beach.

The question is though; would the broken toy have been flotsam or jetsam?

What do you suppose this small stone circle was used for?

I'm only after a bite of yer nuts yer know!

An' a guy wivvout 'is nuts is lost... anyone want to 'elp me find 'em?

The almshouses at Newland raised some interesting comments; certainly from my point of view they are not the sort of buildings I’d normally visualise when I think of almshouses.

The modernisation of the Newland almshouses undoubtedly removed their originality, but has left them with an individuality all their own.

These are more like the sort of buildings I see in my mind’s eye when I think of almshouses. The two examples shown here can be found in Newport and Ross on Wye.

What do you 'see' when you think of almshouses?
