There are different theories behind how the wall came to be there and the most favoured one seems to be that it was part of a newtake meant to enclose Belstone Common. A newtake was a piece of land enclosed by early Dartmoor farmers. Two Irishmen were building the wall to enclose this vast area of land and the locals of Belstone and Okehampton disapproved so knocked it down and drove them away.

Ft. Lauderdale Florida has been called the Venice of America and this mural does a great job showing that.

Work in progress by Jody. The girl appears to be banging her head against the wall...has she just heard that Nat West are going to charge customers interest even when they are in credit...? Maybe we should go back to putting our money under the bed...
The gardens of Greenway are perched overlooking the River Dart. Here you will find the boathouse featured in one of Agatha Christie’s crime novels, as well as a walled garden and pet cemetery, lily filled bird pond and recently restored Peach House. We tried our hand at croquet on the lawn, and peered into the gloomy depths of a tucked away Naval air raid shelter.
The texture used in this picture is by Pareeerica. Apologies to the National Trust for the picture - they have just spent a small fortune restoring this unusual greenhouse, and my texture editing makes it look really distressed!
The Strait of Gibraltar is home for resident bottlenose dolphins, striped dolphins, common dolphins and long-finned pilotwhales. Sperm whales hunt for squid and are regular visitors. Fin whales pass through the Strait in spring. The killer whales visit in July and August when the tuna return to the Atlantic after spawning.

Serving as a gateway to South Dakota's finest attractions and opportunities, Wall is an active community of 800 focused on creating a vibrant community and meeting the needs of residents and millions of visitors each year. While Wall has become a hub for tourism and is often referred to as the "Window to the West," "Gateway to the Badlands," or the "Heart of American Tourism" – the city is a destination stop by its own right.
Although Wall's primary attraction is the world-famous Wall Drug, it has become a well-equipped town that provides services, dining and lodging to the millions of visitors each year that visit nearby attractions such as the Badlands National Park and the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. But it hasn't lost that small-town charm or western spirit that makes it a great place to stop and stretch your legs, or stay awhile to explore.

Wall, South Dakota, "the geographic center of nowhere," is probably known best to cross-country travellers for its main attraction, Wall Drug. Advertised on gigantic billboards for hundred of miles to the west and east on Interstate 90, the gargantuan drug store has put Wall on the nation's map.

Wall Drug Store, often called simply Wall Drug, is a roadside attraction and tourist stop located in the town of Wall, South Dakota, adjacent to Badlands National Park. Wall Drug consists of a collection of cowboy-themed stores, including a drug store, gift shop, several restaurants, and various other stores, as well as an art gallery and an 80-foot (24 m) brontosaurus sculpture. Unlike a traditional shopping mall, all the stores at Wall Drug operate under a single entity rather than being run individually. The New York Times has described Wall Drug as "a sprawling tourist attraction of international renown [that] draws some two million annual visitors to a remote town."

History of Wall Drug
One of the world’s most well-known tourist attractions, it’s hard to believe Wall Drug Store got its start with something many wouldn’t even turn their heads at today … the promise of free ice water. But in fact, the Husteads turned free ice water into a million-dollar idea with a little determination, quick thinking and a lot of signs.
Signs with catchy jingles like “Get a soda . . . Get a root beer . . . turn next corner . . . Just as near . . . To Highway 16 & 14. . . Free Ice Water. . . Wall Drug” drew weary travelers into the small-town drug store to enjoy a refreshing break. Today, more than 2 million visitors a year stop at the popular roadside attraction for a meal or activity, 5 cent coffee, and ice water – which is still free.
Located in Wall, South Dakota, Wall Drug has always been a popular stop on the road to the more populated areas like Mount Rushmore or Rapid City. As a matter of fact, when the United States Air Force operated the Minuteman missile silos east of Wall, the Hustead family offered free coffee and donuts to the service personnel as they traveled to and from Ellsworth Air Force Base near Rapid City. Wall Drug honors the men and women in the armed services by providing them free coffee and donuts to this day.

A gift for my lady. The "slat wall" is very handy as it accepts brackets for mounting lots of things. The white tubes across the bottom are new. They are pieces of PVC pipe glued together, closed on the bottom. On another wall by the ironing board, there is one large tube of PVC that holds the can of spray starch.
And 'front & center' is the Husqvarna sewing machine she loves.
