is this the way?

The road works outside our office are still on-going. The roundabout is now buried and a new road layout is emerging. Traffic and been diverted this way and that, and so have us simple pedestrians.

Each week my way to work changes as temporary barriers are erected and moved while sections of road and pavement are paved. This morning, picking my way through the maze avoiding tripping over the men laying block paving, I found that the ‘pedestrians this way' signs had again changed. Not just in location and direction, but also in language. I turned the final corner on my way to work to be greeted by a sign that had been modified so that it read ‘this is the way to Amarillo'. I smiled. It was a nice way to start the day.
