Trespasser's sign. Morning walk.

Our meanderings this morning took us past this sign. I hasten to add we were not trespassing at the time! It was posted at the entrance to a secluded drive. 
We found it amusing. 
It reminded me of Piglet's house in Winnie The Pooh. 
Here is an extract from the particular chapter concerned.
I love Winnie the Pooh stories!

"CHAPTER III

IN WHICH POOH AND PIGLET GO HUNTING AND NEARLY CATCH A WOOZLE

THE Piglet lived in a very grand house in the middle of a beech-tree, and the beech-tree was in the middle of the forest, and the Piglet lived in the middle of the house. Next to his house was a piece of broken board which had: "TRESPASSERS W" on it. When Christopher Robin asked the Piglet what it meant, he said it was his grandfather's name, and had been in the family for a long time. Christopher Robin said you couldn't be called Trespassers W, and Piglet said yes, you could, because his grandfather was, and it was short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William. And his grandfather had had two names in case he lost one--Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers."
