Royal Blue

East Street, Farnham

Walking on East Street about three weeks ago, every few minutes or so, one of these antique buses would roll by (see below) – I have no idea why, where they were coming from or going to. A few minutes after the last one had passed, along came this couple in an antique car, coincidentally or not.

This is the kind of cash register I learned to operate as a youth. Now they’re museum pieces.
