Just had to share this photo. Today we went to Ormskirk, the little market town about 40 minutes away from home. We looked around the market and shops and enjoyed a great pub lunch and when we returned to our car I noticed this mural on the side of a house wall, adjacent to the bus station.
Someone has a sense of humour and a set of long ladders!!!

Congrats on the award Jo and love the photo, how funny, x
PS won't be at VS as we're going to Scotland to see the other grandee, x
Love the photo! Had to giggle at it. Lovely to know a bit more about you now.
Fascinating facts there, Jo. Congratulations on the award! Love that mural - haven't been to Ormskirk for a year or so, it must be new, unless it's in a place I wouldn't pass. I used to love going there to the market and the little shops. We DO share favourite colours, BTW - I love those colours and call them 'rainbow' colours, lol.
What a wonderful mural it made me smile and we share common likes (Yorkshire Tea) nothing comes near it and I always take it with me wherever I go even to crop!
i have an award for you, check my blog!
Must read your award writings later. Congratulations on the Award Jo!
Had to comment on the mural - of all the time we are spending in Ormskirk at the moment we have never seen this. Mind you I walk around with my eyes glued to the floor, you must tell me where exactly it is.
Hope you have a great weekend.
