John took these on Monday, arriving by Salters’ Steamer from Wallingford. He said “Who can doubt that we have one of the finest waterfronts in Britain.?”

Still he says “the A34 points passers-by to Millets Farm instead….”

It is about a year since John last mentioned the lack of a brown tourist sign from the A34. I know far cleverer people than me have tried and been told that historically it was easy to get brown tourists signs but nowadays there are so many criteria to fulfill – it is not easy to get a new one.

Maybe to get such things done you have to stop listening to reason.
