Leaves From My Sketchbooks 23. Slow Chicks, Allandale

This old saw bench with its wire cage stood half way up the Sarginsons' drive at Allandale. The chickens roamed wild in the long grasses and there was the danger of some of the littlies getting run over - hence this sign.

I, having sketched it, it being a rather fun subject, asked whether it might be misinterpreted because, you'll agree, it is somewhat ambiguous.
