A beautiful Mason image today with a charming cameo in the foreground, with two young girls with pails going for water or with milk. The little one shyly cuddles in to her sister in the eye of the photographer, while others are in the background.

See note on Photo. If it is oats or wheat we are in the wintertime as no leaves on trees. Normally it would be thrashed in the Autumn if it was for winter feed ?

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/scorbet] Well done; no idea how you worked that out! Flickr is sometimes helpful! Hall Caine, novelist, lived in the castle for thirty-eight years (1896-1931 acccording to Wikipedia above) - manxliterature.com/browse-by-author/hall-caine/ Via [https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/] . . .[https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/43458520785/]

https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia It's an unidentified Mason image, so there's an approx 50/50 chance it's on the Isle of Man, then look for castles :-)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/scorbet You shouldn't reveal the wizardry behind the curtain so easily! Just leave us all impressed with that Voodoo that you do so well... :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/beachcomberaustralia

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] Maybe it's like Connemara where they grow them in the fields. As you say, too small for walling, perhaps used for filling potholes and road repair?
