This is me on day two of last month’s festival, when I was invited to sit in the past. This tiny bus originally begun life as a Model T car in 1913, but in 1921 it was converted into a small bus and provided a service between Owslebury and Winchester. Not sure how passengers would feel today about the seats in the back, but suspect most like me would be too excited about being transported in an 100 year old bus! The other bus in the photograph is also very special as that is Dennis, who celebrated 90 years this year.
Now as you may have spotted not every photograph in the gallery below is square, but that’s okay. In Squares we only require one Square photo and I have managed two in this post! I was also thinking how many other themes I could have used my two squares for. ‘In the Pink’ immediately springs to mind but also thought Lines, Roofs, Circles and Squares, Perspectives, Up and Time.




PS Today is also Six Word Saturday, so if your title is six and your image square why not link to both Debbie and myself. And if you want to experience a ride in an 90 year old bus here’s a video of Dennis and his friends around in Winchester.
What a cool old bus! Nice photos!

What fun! A new month of Squares.
My Past-Square is about California Shakespeare, which ends its season tomorrow night, with a great adaptation of The Winter’s Tale. Which I saw three times, that is how much I missed seeing plays:

YES, Cal Shakes is (in my humble opinion) the best theatre group in the San Francisco Bay Area. They had to cancel their entire season last year, and lay off 2/3 of their permanent stuff. So they mounted this adaptation with a skeleton crew. But they did it!

I bet it would have been fun to take that out for a spin, if a tad uncomfortable! Here’s mine for day 2: https://grahamsisland.com/2021/10/02/the-bali-house-at-kiholo-bay/

That is a lovely pic. of you Becky. And good to see the old bus, though imagine very dislocated parts if one had to ride in the back. Another recent ‘past’ from me: https://tishfarrell.com/2021/10/02/leamington-spas-elephant-wash-fact-or-fiction/

Old vehicles are fascinating. We passed what looked like a Ford Prefect yesterday, I couldn’t quite believe how narrow it was! Three kids and a dog were transported in the back of one of those! My square today is for a recent challenge, but I only photographed this one last month.

You can’t get a car in it though, and in fact is now used as a store for books!
