It's a Sign: Watch Out Gentlemen!

Hi, hi.

I hope your weekend has been treating you well. I've decided to add in a new category to my posting here so ... in a similar vein to my Overheards feature, allow me to introduce you to It's A Sign.  

Wherever I go, if I have a camera in my hand, I find myself repeatedly drawn to taking photos of signs, posters, labels etc etc.

I can't help it. I'm a word freak.

So, I've decided to share my obsession with you here in an 'as and when' feature starting today. So, let me show you a sign ...

Taken in Pockerly Old Hall at Beamish
At one point this will undoubtedly have been hung outdoors, near a wood ... somewhere it would make sense to poachers. However ...  

It takes on quite a different meaning when hanging on an indoor wall.

Near the bedrooms.

Tread light gentlemen indeed!

Edited to add: The lovely Alexa has just left me a comment saying how this feature reminds her of some of the signs she's collected , which started me thinking ...

If you'd like to share links to posts you've written or links to online gallery photos you've taken of amusing, intriguing signs etc ... I could create a Pinterest board especially for them.

If you're a sign collector to, have a think and let me know if you think it would work.

Thanks!
