Even modern shopping malls can be fun, if you lift your eyes up from the shop fronts. This "Frog Clock" is loads of fun. On the hour the wheeled 'chariot' slowly moves across with the pendulum swinging, a jolly tune plays, the big frog (or is it a toad?) turns outwards and blows bubbles across the square. The children delight in trying to catch them. Sadly, at the moment it is not working, I understand that they are awaiting a part to fix it.
