The wacky decoration of houses in Bishop's Castle
One of the things that made Bishop's Castle perfect when I first visited it was that it wasn't too perfect.
Yes, there were fine Georgian houses, but there were always a couple of them patched up with corrugated iron. My mother says Bath was like that in the 1950s.
Time moves on and the town has grown neater. There is now a fashion for decorating those houses' external plaster in a wacky fashion.
The bubbles have been there for years, but there was a lot that was new this summer.
The trailing creeper is rather lovely and the jigsaw pieces are witty, but I thought the zip fasteners are in danger of going too far.
