"I didn't come here to sit and ponder...."
So starts a rude ditty. This is the miller's toilet at Bishops Lydiard watermill. It sits over the tail race and this mannequin can be observed going about its business via a well placed mirror.

The mill is on the left and the rather fine mill house is on the right. This is an excellent site and includes a little museum of local industries depicted by mannequins.
