They are nice. Ours are just very ordinary ones. Made from off cuts of our cladding. We can knock them up really quick. Might do some more fancy looking ones when we have more time.

Barrow is packed away for the winter now. As I found it flat on its back with plant and flowers scattered & upended. As I didn’t actually have many customers stop at the barrow. I’ve given the sign a little make over. Hopefully it’ll be a little more obvious and inviting.

Are you lowering the tone again
.Our neighbour came up with that name when I was considering what to call the barrow last year. It was a very close run thing! As I really liked it. Also very appropriate as Bob does make bird boxes and other wood turned stuff to sell occasionally. There was much hilarity and a conversation not suitable for sharing
. When her first suggestion was Bert’s bits

P says he likes 'Bert's Bits' and was querying would they would be sold individually or as a pair

Just looking back at this thread and was amazed at how much my barrow sign has faded since I re painted it in September! And I deliberately didn’t put the sign back on until just before putting it out and had it facing away from the elements!
