So do all the villagers here! Hope it last well. Haven't heard that the the police are looking for anyone, so seems OK so far:-)
Below a couple more photos of the Market Square around the road flag.

We managed to grab our nice old telephone box before the powers came to change it for a grotty newfangled one!

This shows two of Bampton's millennium projects: the seat round the tree made from recycled black bin liners & the mosaic made by the villagers of granite tiles. The design was a controversial compromise... A compilation of the village icons:- morris dancing, the old annual horse fair, the "Bampton in the Bush" old name & the old castle.

Can't find any pics of the annual April Fools done to the "elderly" sign but here is a link to another recent AF prank here:

It think the government should enact legislation to protect the old phone box. Our superheroes need a place to change.

Exactly!

May also be smelly, expensive to maintain & impossibly Non-PC for access, but it's There & it's Traditional:-)

Rest assured AA, several of these Gilbert Scott designed phone boxes have listed status and are protected. I photographic loads in London and S E England!

Superheroes are welcome :)

They're certainly more aesthetically pleasing that the modern equivalent.

Here are some photos which I took during yesterday's excursion. First of all, views along the Thames from the cables which suspend Hungerford Pedestrian Bridge and the London Eye - to - a bit of fun atop of a South Bank Building - to - the replica Globe Theatre championed by Sam Wannamaker - to - views of Tower Brige seen beyond HMS Belfast.

Then we paused near to the remains of London Wall close to the Tower of London. I took this photo to illustrate London's development over a span of close on 1,800 years. It's not quite the same as Mexico City's Plaza de Tres Culturas :)

The Shard, almost completed is beyond the Tower of London, while the base of a Roman tower occupies the pit in the foreground.

Interesting photos, as always, with a good story behind them. Love the idea of the London's "long history" one--a concept it encapsulates brilliantly!

Glad the weather didn't put you off--it was on/off rain over here.

These photos are intriguing! Why are those bits of London stone framed like that within the Tribune building?
