Going through Tadley near Burghclere in Berkshire we stopped at a pub
called the Pineapple (we were on our way to Penwood Nursery)
Very olde worlde and atmospheric but Very Strange thing - the pub sign,
well painted and clear had The Pineapple on it and a large picture of a
pine cone!

Penwood nursery is well worth visiting, enormous trees of all shapes and
sizes and every rarer one too! Plants were really well grown, no
toiltes/play area/shop/amusments/restaurant - just a barn to pay in.
Shrubs and perennials had a sort of very large cabbage 'collar' on them
to stop weeds in the pots.
Prices were reasonable and people knew what they were doing. Last sight
was one of a couple trying valiantly to get a standard wisteria into
their car

Here's a picture of it... looks inviting...

But I can't find one of the sign.

It's sort of visible here
