It dates from around 1913 and still has its acorn finial, but the handle has been replaced by a tap. There are several of them dotted around the village. The reminded me of Red Flash's bollards!!

A very dull day - we have been in thick fat, humid, damp mizzle all day. However , I have just resturned from a 5 hour lunch - nearly as long as Chaiselongue was describing the other day! This was our end of term bash and was held in the local restaurant - courtesy of the owner who has just sent three of his children to our school and is delighted.The craic was mighty, the wine flowed and three courses were consumed - I am now bulging.
