Part of Sycamore Street in Newcastle Emlyn It's a pleasure to walk down such a busy high street with its variety of small independent traders seemingly happily co-existing cheek-by-jowl with some of the usual national retail chains and major banks. Lots of colour, plenty of individuality and obviously tailored to a local customer base.

Entrance to Castell Newydd Emlyn The ruins of the castle gatehouse stand beyond this new gateway which incorporates a piece of public art in the form of a dragon. At first I thought it was a sea or river creature, possibly due to the wave motif on the gate. Why does some public art prompt more questions than it answers? Why does this dragon look anatomically imperfect (small stunted wings / short stumpy legs / short inflexible neck), like a deformed, disempowered menace? Has the artist gone for 'worm' rather than dragon? Why am I asking questions about a mythical creature? Why does it bother me? Does it bother anyone else? [Why don't you have a holiday? Ed.]
