    Default Charolais Weather Vane

    Took this on my mobile, so unfortunately it is only a small part of the framed picture, but this vane on the British Charolais Association building at the National Agricultural Showground was superb.

    This one was in the centre of Farnham, some sort of municipal building I presume.

    A wonderful set. It's amazing to think that a lot of people would never lookup and see them... and I count myself in that number - I often spot something ages after I should have

    I claim the very first weather vane located in Andorra on the site!!

    Spotted this in a back garden of a house whilst out for an afternoon wander

    Really badly placed as it was sheltered on 3 sides!!

    This one is on the nice little church in Ordino about 10 miles from Andorra La Vella.

    Anyone want to hazard a guess at what the bird is?

    Ross, maybe the folks in Andorra don't want to know the weather..

    Could that church tower in Ordino have a hen on the weather vane?

    I bet the Villefranche ones was put up by a rugby fan!

    Default Weather vane - Finchley Memorial Hospital, North London

    Not very exciting, (London doesn't seem to do exciting when it comes to weather vanes!), but I also included a blue plaque for the famous and influential 19th century clown. Grimaldi. As you can see, people are still watching him

    The vane is on the old part of the hospital and the plaque on a new bit.

    A few weeks ago I mentioned story of the fox and the plum tree with respect to Galashiels tradition.

    Well the Galashiels town crest depicts a fox trying to reach the ripe fruits on a plum tree. The motto Sour Plums (locally written soor plooms) refers to a Border raid (of which there were many!) which happened in 1337, during which a party of English soldiers were taken by surprise whilst gathering plums. The brave English lads were savagely murdered by the locals

    The story allows me to wind up the locals every year when it comes round to the annual Braw Lads celebrations - I tell them the whole shebang is actually a celebration of wilful murder of the English soldiers!

    They get very annoyed with me!

    Anyway back to the main topic. This is a picture of the weather vane on top of the council buildings in Galashiels. As you can see its a rather fine depiction of a fox trying to reach the fruit on a plum tree

    That IS a lovely vane, and a great story - thanks for telling us. I suppose the motto of the story is : "don't mess with a scotsman's plums"

    What a wonderfully different one. I don't think I've ever seen a coloured one before. Still, there aren't many Lego-built buildings about

    The whole thing sis stunning Rolf, the roof shape, the 'distressed look' and of course the vane. Fantastic.
    Mind you, I hope no bird has tried to sit on the top or it would have had a bit of a surprise
