Ashton Vale

ZlatÃčko, Ashton Court Zlatíčko (Slovak for &quot;sweetheart&quot; and Czech for &quot;honey&quot;, which are more or less the same thing) is a sculpture by Cjay Roughgarden, to be found southwest of the building. It is made of powder-coated laser cut steel. Something of a family photo - my niece can be seen in the distance wearing a white jumper. — ZlatÃčko, Ashton Court Credit: Derek Harper

Toilet under the hammer?

The disused public conveniences on Cannon Street have been closed for a good few years but recent activity has brought hoardings. The big advert on the block appears to infer the site is up for auction. Who would buy it - and then demolish it for new housing?

Red deer, Ashton Court

An identical view to taken over 14 years ago, but on a gloomy Boxing Day instead of a sunny day in late spring - when I wasn't that far away, staying in Lacock and getting attacked by a ram. Still, at least it wasn't a red deer. The park is Grade II* listed Link

. The Community Forest Path passes by.
