Three more photos of numbers to geek up your Friday afternoon. I love the retro style of the first one, number 72.

a retro 72 on a granite wall, cider barrels with stencilled numbers on and a traditional house number

The middle numbers are stencilled onto cider barrels at Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm (quickly nicknamed Healey’s Wasp Farm on our visit!) in Penhallow, a tiny hamlet near Newquay. And I’m afraid I have no recollection of where the number 19 came from, but I do rather like it!

(Thank you again to Ian Barnard for the Polaroid templates.)
