Off topic. That looks like Oban…the location, not the feline. We saw at least one cat when we visited in April.
Edit: Apparently, his name is Misha.
That’s McCaigs Folly in Oban
During a severe recession locally a generous benefactor financed this structure to give work to the many unemployed men.
Many follies owe there existence to such labour plans
I spent many happy hours Folly Hunting when i lived in the UK you would be surprised how many there are
Cost a small fortune in OS maps
That in itself was a folly
.
Given your background in the Brewing Industry, here’s one I took for you whilst on a long weekend in Suffolk:
I know it well I used to “have to” visit regularly. It’s still going strong as far as I hear
Yes still going very strong - now have a very smart visitor’s centre and outlet shop selling everything from spirits, beer and now wine😃. There is also the obligatory cafe🥺.
It looks like the new head brewer is quite innovative , Mike Powell-Evans before him was a friend of mine and definitely old school by order of the family . I suspect the younger members of the family are now running things
I wonder if the pensioners still polish the copper tops with Brasso every week ?
I wondered why we were handed a polishing cloth on entry😁.
Amazon messed up another delivery ![]()
Shame Gary Larson was a dog person , I can’t imagine what he could have done with Cats and Boxes ![]()
There are some cats
check the smug look
Working incredibly well, presumably the cat will be wrapped & labelled soon…![]()
