...of missed trains, cars not starting and other delights, I found these strange road signs oddly heartening. Also, they provide an antidote to my (revolting) last post.

About Me
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..
My Books
Below are the books I have written.
Ruth Robinson's Year of Miracles
Women Behaving Badly
Dead Ernest
Cassandra's Secret
What fantastic road signs, Frances. Is the bottom one is situated outside your house?
ReplyDeleteWhere else?
DeleteAny even remotely funny sign is instantly removed in Germany, I'm afraid. I hope these get to stay!
ReplyDeleteHow sad ;(
DeleteLove them - you've put a smile on my face x
ReplyDeleteThey certainly helped me, Teresa!
DeleteThat's what's so great about the British sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteNot sure the crocodile was British, though...?
DeleteAre they for real - how brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI think they're real. I like to think so, anyway.
DeleteI know that this wasn't the intention of your post but it actually made me think (quite an achievement I have to admit). There was a time when it would have taken a lot more than a few funny road signs to restore my equanimity after missing a train or the car not starting (if either made me late for something). I realised that now I'd just shrug and take it from there. I really am mellowing with age - but hopefully not smelling like a mellowing cheese. I did enjoy the 'road signs' though.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'm that mellow yet, GB, and it wasn't I who missed the train. Long story. But it did affect me, and the non starting car was certainly mine.
