Thanks - it's just a shame that the sundial had lost its 'hand'! :yes:

Your cafe shot is one of the best shown on the blog and shouts about the charm of France. David.

I wish that the sundial in the mural hadn't lost it's 'hand' and that the ventilation grill wasn't there.

There's no hand on a sundial; was I meant to fall for that one ? David.

It's not a trick :no: You need something to cast the shadow but I don't know what the 'pointy bit' is called!

If I didn't know better I'd think you were joking David.
