      As did a great aunt of mine. (SA, she wasn't a piano teacher - AFAIK!)
      I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

          Some puns are unintentional. But still amusing....










          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

            There are quite a few puns seen on gardeners' vans but that has to be one of the best!
            There's a Lawn Ranger around here, haven't yet managed a photo.

              I do recall seeing an All For Lawn sign but it was so many years ago that I can't now even recall where...

                    Gratuitous, ts!!

                    Now - here's one that happens to be in season around now. Spotted this afternoon from my bicycle!



                    Macabre footnote: the van is on the site of the old Bartle Iron Works... Just behind where I was standing used to be the wall of the Works, against which on the other side, before the whole area was redeveloped in the 1970s, was...

                    .... No. 10, Rillington Place


                    "...the isle is full of noises,
                    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

                      Given where they are parked, are they tree surgeons?
