This is the wishing stone. It's stuck in the wall on Totnes Road in Paignton, Devon. When we were children we used to walk past it on the way home and my mum used to tell us that if we touched it and made a wish it would come true. I always thought it was the bottom of a bottle that someone had stuck in the wall but as you can see it's a big lump of amethyst. Funny how we remember things differently. Unfortunately someones given it a good knock with something and it's chipped.
This was one of the first things I showed my children when we went back to visit Devon. They've both made wishes on it and this time I didn't even mention it to Levi but as soon as we got to the wall he remembered and started looking for it.
