Random Things #4

Because our visit is ending soon, here are some more random things.  

We have seen more unicorns during our visit than ever before.  

In addition to unicorns, we have seen  a lot of sheep.  Lots and lots.  (By the way, Bristol is the of Shaun the Sheep.)

Thatch roofs are still prevalent.  Many thatchers leave behind some advertising of sorts—a trademark on the ridge of the roof.  Below is a running squirrel.  

While zooming along the highway, we glimpsed two very large sculpted horse heads in a field.  One is pictured below.  The horses are Kelpies, mythical creatures that will drown you and steal your soul.  Who knew?

Here is a series of odd things to discover while roaming around town and country.  

We were told that Bristol has the greatest concentration of barbers in England.  We saw many shops, including one on wheels.

In Wiltshire, about three centuries ago, some blokes decided to sculpt some large horses into chalk hillsides.  Below is one horse still on the loose. 

Below is another very friendly horse. 

In Castle Combe, there is a 200 year old Sequoia growing.  It is non-native and its planting is mystery. Nevertheless, the tree is a lovely addition to a beautiful setting. 

Thanks for letting us share some more random things.
