Cellpic Sunday: Rural Transport Infrastructure
Posted on June 3, 2024
There are many positive aspects of living deep in the French countryside, but easy access to public transport definitely isn’t one of them. People just have to make do…

Apparently, it’s not just electricity and telecommunication cables and sewage pipes that can be found beneath the streets of Limoges…

Here, I’m taking advantage of Cee’s rule that signs are always acceptable for her CWWC challenge.
This is the road that leads into the nearby village of Blond, on the morning of this year’s Christmas Fair.
Note that the sign is upside down. That’s because of an ongoing national campaign by young farmers, who are protesting that the profits from agriculture are too heavily skewed towards the conglomerates at the apex of the pyramid, rather than the actual producers themselves. Sounds legit.
It’s good for you. No, really…

Cee’s Which Way Challenge this week is looking for images of signs. This one, extolling the nutritional value of wine is hanging on the wall in the bar of our favourite local restaurant.They left out the fact that it could also be considered as at least one of your five a day.
The Wine List

Meanwhile, back in Aubeterre-sur-Dronne, home to the subterranean church as featured n recent posts, on the main street there is a now closed down shop that obviously used to sell some very upmarket wines.
For example, a bottle of that 1967 Chateau La Mission Haut-Brion would nowadays set you back close to 400 dollars or euros. Cooking wine it ain’t.

This street sign in the old quarter of Beverley, opposite the Minster Church, looks like an effective default way of keeping the traffic moving.

I spotted this weatherbeaten sign down at the harbour in the small fishing village of Crail, in Scotland.
Personally, I wouldn’t need to be told once, never mind twice.
Look At The Baby…

In one of the narrow, winding streets around the great cathedral of Chartres, I spotted this slightly disconcerting sign featuring a baby. The presence of the passing pedestrian helped to make the shot.
