A photo of a sycamore tree in the middle of a green space. Between the camera and the green is a low stone wall, and in front of that, a cobbled road. On the verge is a planter made of vertical planks, with a tyre fixed round the top. There is a small bare shrub in the planter. Behind the wall, is a large shrub and a small tree to the left. The tree is in leaf starting to turn autumn colours.

The sky is grey and the road is wet.

A horse chestnut tree against a grey sky. Beside it is a green area bordered by a low stone wall, with other trees and in the background is a large Victorian house. The road in front is cobbled and wet with rain. The gutters are full of fallen leaves.

The trees are all becoming autumn coloured.

Telephone wires cut across the sky from a telegraph pole next to the tree.

A white mug with blue handle and writing. It reads "Gwlân, Gwlân! Pleidiol wyf i'm Gwlân!" and a drawing of a ball of wool with the tail forming a heart shape. This is a play on the words of the Welsh national anthem, "Gwlad, Gwlad! Pleidiol wyf i'm Gwlad" which translates as "Land! Land! I am true to my land".  Gwlad means Land or country.

I didn't buy this book though. In my case "where to see old buttons" equals "almost everywhere I look, god, why do I have so many old buttons?" How terrible though, of museums in Europe not to have full English explanations of their button collections....
The front cover of a book entitled Discovering Old Buttons by Primrose Peacock. The cover image is a selection of vintage buttons of all sizes and colours.A page from the book titled "Where to see old buttons". The second paragraph begins "In Europe many major museums have small selections of buttons, but captions are usually in the local language and English-speaking staff seldom available".
