I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

In Cricklade

 

Seen on the walls of this Saxon town today.

The pub next door was the scene of another crime, possibly not quite a hanging offence though?

We all loved this small, unassuming plaque, set back from the road near the bridge.

Some signs were rather larger and seemed to indicate something more important.

Others told of the town’s long history.

And some told of nothing much at all.

Lol in a cafe with WIFFY. Those signs are a hoot,well spotted!
When its all in French we might well be missing a lot.

So pleased you enjoyed Cricklade...another special this time of the year are the Snakes Head Fritallary Fields. Sometimes they are early and some times late. There is a beautiful walk along the edge of the river and across these lovely fields.

Cricklade the first town on the Thames. Great place. We were in Cricklade on the same day as you... but did not see each other. Am surprised however that you did not go to the butchers in the High street.... best in Wiltshire methinks! Just love their Cornish pasties.
