On the Herefordshire Trail Passing one of those modernised or converted rural properties that brandish a little too much signage, warning of 'Private Property' etc. Here we get 'No Admittance', coupled to 'Please keep to the Right of Way, Thank you' and thirdly, 'Please keep your dog on a lead, Thank you'. It always makes me think that if you move to the country and purchase a home on a public path or waymarked walk you should either purchase elsewhere or expect walkers to respect such givens, with no need to warn. It is I feel a sort of suburban paranoia that inspires landowners to issue orders to the orderly. And ironically here the homeowner's own dog was off a lead, yapped all the while as we passed and then came out after we had left the precincts to issue barks until we were out of sight. As paranoid, insecure and territorial as his owner maybe?
