Welcome Flags.....

The posts were there for a week. People wondering what they were all in aid off. And then....






............. Welcome Flags. They've been erected in a partnership between the Local Authority and The Eden Project, to welcome people to our town, and the area.

Of course some people are not happy with the idea. ''It spoils the view'', is the main shout, but they certainly brighten up the place. It's true, the do cut the line of sight to the skyline for a couple of the residents, but I think they hide more than they obscure. Anyway, it's only for a few months of the year as they will never last a winter.

What pretty colours!

And that picture...I swear I could hear them 'snapping' in the wind.
 
You would not believe the controversy they have caused!
 
they are beautiful, and as acushla said....the photograph is magnificent...

And Ian I can only imagine the things said...the diehards who do not like change of any kind...the phones ringing, the little cliques of neighbors standing out in their gardens....heatedly arguing their point...then time would pass...as the flags faded, became tattered and had to come down....those say naysayers would be talking of how pretty they used to look....
