A few miles from here: Brimham Rocks – spectacularly odd rock formations for clambering over. simply to enjoy for the spectacle, or because it’s also a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Spotted on a front door in London, not too far from my son’s house. Could this creature possibly be the tooth fairy I talked about yesterday?

Did you get visits from the Tooth Fairy when you were little and those first teeth fell out? I did, and so did my children … and their children. It turns out that the one who visits our family is an odd wee besom who leaves grumpy notes – tiny ones, written on a piece of paper little larger than a postage stamp – to the children whose teeth she recovers…

One of my favourite places in Barcelona is the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, which I’ve written about, here and here. It’s a hospital ahead of its time, begun in the late 19th century, set in gardens for the patients to enjoy. Gardens containing odd little delights to spot such as this frog, crouched above a window.

Walking down a street in Barcelona, we spotted this papier-mâché guitar suspended from a drainpipe.
Clever stuff. You take your time to go and look. And there, can you see? There’s the name of a guitar teacher and his phone number. Just get in touch, and you’ll have taken your first steps towards mastering playing the guitar.

Instead of popping in to the café with your pooch, you could park it on the patio outside.
Some of the characters in the featured photo could maybe make use of it?
Spotted somewhere in Spain, for Becky’s Square Odds.
Today’s oddity is a discomfited postbox, Buxton resident. I think it must have been told about the postbox Debbie spotted in Margate, which has got itself tied up in knots.

Yesterday, I showed you two oddballs on a motorbike. I rather wonder if they coud be responsible for the odd occurrence near here, spotted in the wall of a local farm?

This year, it’s not too early to go to the fantastic street carnival, Las Fallas, which takes place in Valencia in February and March every year. You’ll find fanciful figures, fireworks and fun. But if travelling’s still tricky, we can join this pair of oddballs on their motorbike, whom I found a few years ago in the museum devoted to this special festival.

With thanks to Sue of Words Visual, for reminding me about this doughty pair of old crones,
If you’re ever near Middlesbrough, and fancy a breezy walk on an RSPB reserve, you could do worse than go to Saltholme. It’s modest enough to explore in an afternoon, and besides, there’s helpful signage to prevent your getting lost.
