Oh yes, that's a vast improvement Mick Some very impressive work indeed to make those intrusive objects disappear!

Can you now please do the same for the potholes in the Northants roads?

Regarding the potholes - I've often thought about getting one of those Road Closed Ahead signs and completely changing it to read : Warning. Road Missing Ahead. Might spur the highways authority into a bit more action

It's badly faded and not strictly to regulations... Curiously, the other side of the road has a 'proper' dead end warning sign so quite what this one is present I don't know... Maybe the people who live at the end of the lane got fed up with people seeing if it really was a dead end...

We have many, many 'Ends' in this part of the world... Indeed, I live in one and gives a clue of what my part of Paggers is most famous for... Tickford End

Out and about on a reconnaissance mission today I came across this gem:

Ohh, that's a lovely stylish one Mick... Looks well loved too

Very much a modern fingerpost... And a bit mossy in places...

They have a quality that cannot be described or named easily.

a bit of rust is always pleasing

as is a definite presence in the Landscape

Yes it has Northumberland literally and metaphorically written on it.
