One of those things that are so familiar that I forget to take a photo of. It's a humungous life-size lion completely painted in gold, above a shop doorway (No prizes for guessing the former pub's name!).Eileen Wrighthttp://www.pastremains.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-80378226016581449612014-10-02T17:16:50.358+01:002014-10-02T17:16:50.358+01:00Evelyn: Thank you.

I drove through Deddington again this afternoon and there were cars and vans appearing from all directions, keeping my eyes busy. It's good, though, to see a small town bustling.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-46280966446184238512014-10-02T07:22:19.937+01:002014-10-02T07:22:19.937+01:00Anna: The cooper is great.

I'm sure you're not the first to do a double take.

He's way up by the roof so it's easy to miss him, but he's animatronic and you can watch him hammering. mondoagogohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317057691178968040noreply@blogger.com
