Yes they are.
I was thinking that Metlox made these cast iron ones but maybe not.

That looks much closer than the ceramic ones!

I couldn't see the cart but it looked like the Budweiser Clydesdales. They're quite well known in the US

when i go to look at car boot sales i avoid the "baby" stalls like the plague and look for GENUINE chuck out stalls that are not doing the same stuff week in week out ! variety produces purchases !

Oh how I miss a good car boot sale. South Yorks and North Derbys were fantastic for them. West Wales on the other hand...

Still, you can't have everything. Since we came here 4 months ago, we've come into close contact with families of otters, the stag and his harem, newt tadpoles and a variety of other wildlife. I'll forego the car boots for my daily dose of the Wildlife Park.

We didn't have a frost!

Just been down into the valley to buy our Christmas tree. It's a lovely atmosphere there, with folk wandering through Narnia giving each one the once-over.

Time to light my pyres of blackthorn, I think. Weather's changing again tomorrow, and it looks like our turn for serious gales on Tuesday.:(
