Today I visited Devizes. The photo shows me at The Crammer. However, it was raining and as I don't like getting wet I looked at it from the safety and dry of the car.

The Crammer is a large pond famous for the story of The Moonrakers - Smugglers who hid their barrels of brandy in the Crammer were spotted by Customs men and asked what they were doing. 'Raking up the cheese' they replied. The customs men - seeing only the reflection of the full moon - went away laughing and the smugglers got their brandy. All people born in Wiltshire who have lived there all their lives are called 'Moonrakers' .

Elephonse also went to visit The Crammer this week. His account tells the story in more detail.
