Holiday Oddities

David likes to send photos through to his sister and friend of some of the oddities we regularly stumble upon. May I present to you his modest selection from our week away.

Exhibit 1


One bog standard red triangle warning sign for a narrow bridge plus ahem a U.F.O. These days though the correct term should be U.A.F standing for unidentified anomalous phenomena ( I knew that all my Fortean Times reading would come in useful one day) At the time we were to be found in a tiny Wiltshire village called Honey Street. If I tell you that it has a crop circle museum then you'll see that this fits perfectly with the hippy vibe of the place.

Exhibit 2


Just a completely random encounter in Bournemouth. We were just on our way out to buy fruit when we saw this. I have no explanation as to why this particular property is festooned with daleks and a tardis but how splendid. Looks like the dream home of your average Whovian.

Exhibit 3


This randomly appeared in the front garden of the house next door to where we were staying and then vanished again a couple of days later. Our pet theory is that the house was being cleared after students leaving. Hope so 😱 It's just a tad disturbing, but would be perfect for Halloween themed decor.

Enough of my nonsense....I think the heat must be getting to me🤣

  1. Honey Street wasn't a bad place to live, even though the area was bedeviled by crop circles. The pub was famous for it. I miss Wiltshire, though the U.A.F.s were a bit worrying. ;)

  2. Think the first one is my favourite, really not the third, and never much cared for Dr. Who!

  3. I struggled to say anomalous out loud - then realized I had it right but it simply didn't sound right..... fenomena
