Apparently the intricacy of the chimney once reflected the status of the home owner, however in Portugal nearly all of the chimneys are fabulous. I first became obsessed by them in 2014 (just check out this post), and cannot wait to see them again. This particular chimney has appeared in Squares before, although last time it was because of the sky.

That’s definitely a good one, Becky!

A very fine ornament to have, status or no status. I love those red splashes. This is another one that would fit into a lot of categories. Mine is here:

We’ve seen quite a few with the red splashes – I half wonder if they also have a tale behind them, or perhaps they are the mark of a particular chimney maker. I must ask someone when I am back.

I was really taken with the chimneys I saw in parts of Portugal, especially around Faro in the Algarve. Is your example from that region I wonder?
I thought it was time I gave you some more historical squares, this time from a country that likes to pretend it only has a fairly recent past! https://www.toonsarah-travels.blog/a-rare-glimpse-of-history-in-north-korea/

My examples are indeed – all east Algarve so within a few miles of Faro π

Your mention of weather vanes on the privy roof the other day now has me thinking. These cockerels are so splendid especially the one in the strapline that is taking off.
