Two tasks for today: get toothpaste, book somewhere to stay in Nottingham while my car is being repaired.

But first I think I'll revisit Stoke-on-Trent. Last time I was there was only for one night and I arrived fairly late and left early in the morning. The place didn't click with me, perhaps because it was winter. I stayed at a B&B. That also didn't click. It was one of those full of notices about what one is not to do.

I can't find any record of my visit there, no photographs tagged with the name of the town, no mention in any of my saved SW posts, very odd.

Any eagle eyed readers from the Stoke-on-Trent area will probably have spotted already that I didn't actually go to Stoke, all of yesterday's pictures were taken in Hanley.

Hanley has a some very colourful rubbish bins as well as some painted telephone/network boxes, etc.

@ninalanyon Your diligence in photographing these bins is impressive.

@22Michelle I'm sure there were more. They are all taken with my mobile as i was walking past so it only costs a few seconds of extra time. The real work comes later when I catalogue them. That actually takes just as long as taking them.

I like to take pictures of the things that are not necessarily what a tourist would usually photograph, in addition to all the usual things.
