Country Living

I would personally like to thank the enterprising farmer who put up the following signs at periodic intervals by the side of the road, presumably advertising his produce:

Long and thin...
Covered in skin...
Red in parts...
Great in tarts...
RHUBARB!

That had me giggling all the way home. May he sell much rhubarb and more besides.

There are a lot of roadside farm shops around here, with a multitude of signs to let you know what you can buy from them. Most of them sell the same sorts of things, so you see the same lists of stuff everywhere you go and if you go on a long country drive it all gets a bit boring after a while. Much hilarity ensued a couple of years ago, though, when the boyfriend and I drove past a farm advertising "Potatoes, Apples, Blackberries, Leeks, Pears, Hamsters". The diversification of rural business knows no bounds.
