That letter box looks as if it's had a fresh coat of paint every year since it was installed. :D

A394 near Truro. This wall usually has 2 or 3 mugs or cups/saucers, sometimes a milk jug and sugar bowl gets added, teaspoons etc, then the council (?) removes them all. Never saw ducks before - quite a collection!😁

There's a huge building site on edge of town. Constant stream of big trucks taking diggings away.
I'd heard one had been decorated, but only saw it today

Feliz Navidad ;)

Just the one?

With careful stacking they can get two or more in.

Heated by burning old pallets. I thought about going for 30 degrees but decided against it on comfort levels.

Just happened to be in the right place at the right time with a very long lens.
Or
A nice bit of photoshopping.

For me it was as it just popped up on my feed. For Leonardo, certainly less so, "After three years of observing celestial patterns and tracking the satellite’s position, Sens successfully captured the sought-after shot on June 4. According to PetaPixel, he positioned himself on Icaraí Beach, which is about seven miles from the statue, and photographed the moon just as it passed behind the figure, who appears to hold the glowing orb in his outstretched palms in an act of divine alignment."! :shock:

Sorry - A39. More importantly, I’ve just discovered that the duck display appeared as replacement for the row of dildos which had arrived on New Years Eve! Missed that…😁

I used to drive past that bridge fairly often a few years back, I did wonder why the mug(s) were there.

That's a philosophical question, I always feel like there are few things in the UK that are an improvement on anywhere else in the world.
I love the UK and we intend to spend the majority of the rest of our lives living in England, but it's disheartening to see it slowly sliding away.

You're not flying into my local airport therefore away from IMO.

I couldn't have named the airline but I know it's not Loganair, there's no tartan in sight.
