York is an historic town in Western Australia, one of the first to be established in our state. We went there recently on a bus trip. The previous weekend, there had been a jazz festival held there and someone had created the sand sculpture you can see in the top left-hand photo. Lower left is a sign above what was once a guest house. Don’t you love the wording? I wonder how many would qualify nowadays? On the right, is a photo of a display which appears in a liquor store. York is certainly geared to attracting visitors. Shortly, we’re off to a garage sale or two to try to buy some plants and plant pots. I wonder what other treasures we’ll find.

What an interesting sounding little town... I hope you find so many beautiful plants that you have trouble making up your mind on what to buy. I hope you have fun at the garbage sales.

We did pick up a few plants and a very cheap DVD player.

@JudyEv Oh, that's nice. I still won't take Pretty to garbage sales... Too many people here aren't vaccinated and won't wear masks. (And yes, once in a while, when we drive past one, she'll gripe and gripe about me not being willing to stop. If she wants to endanger her own health, that would be fine... but she lives with me and I don't want to risk dying from Covid.)

@DaddyEvil People here are going off about their 'rights' and the having their 'freedom' curtailed but I want to be free to go into a grocery shop and not be surrounded by possibly infected people.

Wow, that sand sculpture is awesome. Not many would qualify for that guest house these days I suppose. Are those mannequins made of straw of something like that?

We've only been "respectable" for a few years here. Before that, total ill repute. Actually, people thought that we were long-married before we'd ever said "I do." I guess that we just had that resigned look that comes with joint finances.

There is a couple here who are well into their sixties and aren't married. The woman saysabout the partner that 'she never made an honest man of him'.

What do they mean for "respectable couples". Surely it was a pit different than in our days. I love all those pictures.

@JudyEv This is also what I thought. In Italy they asked for your ID when you checked in in the 70s. Here in Switzerland they only asked the documents to the men... very discrete as usual.

The sign is an old one. I guess they didn't want people signing in as Mr & Mrs Smith!
