An uncommon sign

HFF! We found an unusual sign as we were out walking a section of the Cotswold Way.

Sadly, no cats crossed our path on the walk.

A whimsical house sign

Halfway up a hill near us is a house who's owner has a sense of fun. As well as a garden with a huge golden egg and brightly dressed scarecrows in the vegetable patch, he has made a creative sign for his house name.

As you walk towards the house, the random jumble of letters arrange themselves to read "Oakwood House" if you stand in the right place.

Winchcombe bench

HBM - This bench is on the main street in the small Cotswold market town of Winchcombe, dating back to the Anglo-Saxon era. The town still has many buildings and features dating back to medieval times, and more recently, in 2021 it was the site of a meteorite strike of worldwide astronomical interest.

As a bonus, the wall behind the bench has a 'ghost door', that used to lead to the grounds of Winchcombe Abbey.

The sign on the wall reads "Abbey Terrace, known by locals as the High Walk, was created in 1835. The main gate and grounds of Winchcombe Abbey stood northwards from here."

Ouchie!

Spotted at my local supermarket. The damage to the car looks expensive, but at least the owner has a sense of humour about it!

Church sign

An extremely polite notice at the entrance to Saint Bartholomew's Church.

Not the most appropriate sign

We hit a small issue on out Friday 13th "Old guys" walk to Stroud - a fallen tree blocking the way.

We were able to crawl under it, but if we were in a car, I'm not sure that driving slowly would have helped! Perhaps they'd run out of "Road Closed" signs :-)

Sri Lankan shop sign

I loved this old sign outside a shop in Sri Lanka, particularly the archaic "Smokers' Requisities."

Singapore Condominiums

Many years ago, in the pre-digital age, I was sightseeing in Singapore, and came across a newly-built block of condominium apartments.

With careful framing, I captured the location for posterity, and a cheap laugh.

Sigiriya Warning Sign

A few years ago, we spent some time in Sri Lanka. A highlight was climbing the steep route to the top of Sigiriya. Halfway up we came across this sign, and carried on in silence for a while!
