Default Looking down a driveway ........

Whilst driving around in the country at the weekend I spotted all this signage down a driveway. Had to stop, reverse up and quickly take a couple of snapshots. There was more all over the property , in the garden etc. but I was not willing to get out of the car. Don't know how this person gets away with this signage on his/her property.


7 Awatea Ave, Paraparaumu

and of course some sheep looking at me

Also spotted this converted mini minor

Thanks Angela - the sheep said nothing but as you know they are sensitive to strangers like me. The mini was converted into a two seater. It is a great colour.

Cheers,
Bernz

Nice photos. Very creative home owner. Sheep wanted to know what "ewe" wanted.

Can't get over the signs, they even have a set of traffic lights. Thousands of dollars worth!!!!!!!!
Love the sheep, they were wondering if you had Baarrrbarra in the car.
