It's the way I tell 'em

Okay, you're saying to yourselves, what on earth does this have to do with the theme for this week's MonoMonday - START?  A vintage bus conductor on a vintage bus standing with his (admittedly rather less vintage) driver.  Well, I shall just have to convince you..

Winchester has this tradition (there she goes again, 'tradition' not newness).  Every New Year's Day the old King Alfred Buses come out to play with their enthusiast humans in the driving seat.  It is the way this city STARTS the year.  Every year.  So now you're looking at this image quite differently, aren't you - at the shining newness of historical playtime, shall we say?

Hmm!

Thanks so much to Skeena for hosting this challenge. 

Have a happy evening and don't think about work tomorrow ;))  xx
