Street Art: Bill & Ben + a Silver Salamander

You will need to be of a certain age & British before the words “Bill & Ben” or The Flowerpot Men mean anything to you (both of those caveats ring true for me). In this next bit of garden/street art, the home owner in Highfield Drive, Carlton has decided that they prefer Little Weed to Bill & Ben:—

The final example of house/street art is from Standhill Avenue, Carlton and, as a silver salamander, is very different to Bill & Ben:—

These were both shot whilst I was surveying Carlton, England in the same Wednesday 15 June afternoon. There was the kind of steady drizzle that is capable of soaking you to the skin in minutes. I gave up after an hour or two, partly because I became convinced that my mobile might short-circuit. Hopefully the pics above will cheer you up as much as they did me.
