Harry & I have our bus pass but have yet to use it.
Must remember to have it with us as we could have just hopped on this bus the other day if we had felt like it.
Perhaps a short trip locally at first & then further afield in the summer.
Quite a good service here every half hour. I applied for my visa online this afternoon.
Had a phone call which I didn’t answer as it came from the USA telling me my photo didn’t pass muster.
I had to take it again & it’s now gone through. The price has shot up since four years ago!
The bus service can be very good, ours are every hour, but the last bus is about 1900hrs & it takes about an hour to get into Lincoln bus station from here, because it goes all round the houses!
I had to have a passport size photo taken for my citizenship papers years ago. Not actually for a passport, just to identify me and then have one signed to verify that it was me. The lady in the post office said 'This isn't acceptable' I asked why and she said I was pink. I asked her what she meant and she said my face was too pink. I said 'Well what colour am I, am I black and nobody has told me' She wasn't amused. So she took another photo.
The irony of it was it was her that took the photo in the first place a week before but as I had to have it signed it took a few days to get back to her.
you've never used your bus pass Pat ...WOW !!!! I've had mine for 7 months and love it , free bus and tram travel ....No. 58 bus , remember that ? Elsie comes on the bus with me , £1 for a "all day dog pass" .. a "Rover ticket" !!!
Ha.. Yes us kiwis are a bit fussy who we let in.. lol..
Looks like the Michellin Man waiting for the bus..
The free travel on public transport is great .. though we have to drive to get to the right spot first..
@onewing I can believe it! They are very fussy about any official photo. I wasn’t looking at the screen …..I have done it again, passed this time!
I’ve had four emails from a guy with a very long four barrelled name in the USA. He was very polite but it’s been a performance just for a three week entry visa……..I applaud them actually!
You can go all the way up to Scotland if you are up for it! I’ve had my Freedom Pass for 12 years now but only started using it when I retired 7 years ago. Changed my life as I got rid of my car because of the exorbitant London taxes on motorists
So much to see in this scene! Our public transportation is far afield. Since we are in a suburb it is miles to the trains and we don’t have buses.it would be wonderful to hop on a bus to go shopping.
A lovely candid capture. We do use our bus passes occasionally, to go into Cambridge on the Park and Ride. We used it yesterday, but sadly, while I was there I forgot to take even one picture!
Had to smile at Casa's comment.

We will do this summer!
I had to laugh at the “too pink”, did you have a sunburn?🥵
