 Gloucester Guildhall behind the TreesTrees and stonework work so well together, regardless of the season. One of the noticeable things about the buildings in Gloucester is the difference in stone colour. Often towns and cities are just built from the local stone, as traditionally transport costs were huge. Where did the orange stone originate?Please let me know if you find out

Watercolour sketch by Janice Lyall |  Fun at Newent Onion Fayre......And its all about Onions!
The entire base of the market hall is piled with sackfuls of onions in all shapes, sizes and colours. Bystanders are fascinated to watch onions being strung by dexterous fingers and sympathise with contestants brave enough to tackle the raw onion eating contests. Its a day of celebration, live music, Morris dancing, fun fairs and of course, eating.
'Shallot to see!'
