The sun peeked intermittently out from between the clouds today. I took advatage of a non-sunbathing day to do a spot of shopping.
Everywhere you look Barnstaple is gearing up for its annual Britain in Bloom entry. It has been a winner on no less than three times in the last ten years, in the category of Best Town, and has gone on to win World In Bloom Best Town.
In the photographs above you can see the Albert Clock, also known as the Four Faced Liar because none of its four faces ever says the same time as any one of the others, and the Heritage Centre. The people with their backs to the beautiful flowers are looking at the Millenium Mosaic, telling Barnstaples history since it began around 900AD.

Isn't a shame that Barnstaple is not in this years Brirtain in Bloom competition. Watch out for next year when Barnstaple re-enters the competition with the opening of the new bridge and relief road.
Silly me! I thought we entered every year!
