Lead astray

For reasons I won't bore you with, I had occasion to visit the Pencil Museum in Keswick on Wednesday. Now there's 15 minutes and £4.50 I'll never see again. But I did get to see the world's biggest colour pencil, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

Oh, and I saw this:

And to think cynics said it couldn't be done.
