Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Very odd name for a pub, love the sign. i would also enjoy the child free zone for a meal as well.

Maybe it's just a mix-up on my machine, but it has Barbara's avatar (pic of Jasmine) instead of yours beside your name. I thought I was commenting on one of Barb's pics until I looked closer and saw your name.

A bit of a grim sort of myth for a pub. Wait, what am I saying? "Fortunately" the landlady did not lose her head as the marquee suggests.

Seems like an interesting place. RE the child free zone, I blame the useless parents more the kids for the need for this.

Child-free zone? By all means. Great capture and cool links

I do love the pubs over there! Nothing so nice here, no atmosphere, just cash-seeking!

Interesting pub sign. Are they suggesting this is the only way to keep a woman silent? Nice web site and a proper pub with a great wooden bar.

We all know that there is no such thing as a 'silent woman' and the little saying underneath is quite funny but I like your shot Andrea. There are thousands of interesting pub signs out there.

It must be difficult to talk when someone has lopped off your head.

Great capture and an interesting sign for this establishment. The best since I saw a pub called "The Nags Head" the sign was a woman in curlers and scarf holding up a rolling pin with a ciggy in her mouth, of course it should be the head of a horse. This one has some macabre class to it.

I like signs Andrea and I will stash this one into my collection of signs - I also appreciate the "children" sign.
