Halle-flippin-lujah she's back. I've been like a junkie all week suffering withdrawal symptoms. Believe me "Cold Turkey" is not a nice state to be in. Welcome back Carol and I hope thats the end of the leave for this year?
Swordscookie said:
There's an awful lot of weight at the rear of that car and that gentleman in particular. A lot of it is behind the back axle and it could make life interesting going up a steep hill. Imagine travelling on that in a downpour?
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Swordscookie Lovely to be back! But afraid not on the leave front. Don't know how to break this to you gently, so you'll have to be a brave soldier - I'm going away again next week (feast or famine!)... But then I'll be around for ages, no flitting off on tourist cars for me! Though if this picture was taken today, the poor tourists would still be huddling in blankets. Brrrr and boooo to the arctic winds!

Crowded buses even then.

Michiel2005 Wonder if it was the same back then - that you waited for ages and then two came along at once?

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/64555638@N00] and there's Merle Streep beside him!!! What a wonderful social commentary Carol, great shot and great material to mull over with a nice cup of tea and (non virtual) sticky bun! The two ladies with veils over their faces as a reminder that the hijab was not the only form of face covering in use. The gentleman with the top hat looking so discomfited by mixing with the hoi-polloi and the casual boater relaxing at the back, a great start to a Flickr week!

I'd say the woman at far left is only going as far as the Spanish Arch.

Spectacular hats!!! Quite an outfit on the lady in white!
Deb Malewski said:
Must have been a party of something! Fascinating!

Perhaps Mrs. James Cunningham Bishop, the former Miss Abigail Hancock. Married in 1891, she divorced him in 1913. See query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9907E4D6123BE633A... It was clearly a very public divorce. But I'm not sure that could be the context for this picture.
