Those cars are wonderful. Modern cars may have better safety features, but they all look alike and are all the same colour each year; silver, white, then a year of beautiful jewel tones, then back to silver, white, etc. I'd love to forage in the antique shops and dream of what I might buy. I haven't had a curry in years.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143171429071782872.post-36747107218236918912023-03-29T13:39:35.307+11:002023-03-29T13:39:35.307+11:00Sorry, HelsSorry, HelsHelsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143171429071782872.post-31513378882765603832023-03-29T13:38:57.949+11:002023-03-29T13:38:57.949+11:00I love the houses and shops, however their origina...I love the houses and shops, however their original designs were preserved :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143171429071782872.post-90010146058447282842023-03-29T10:48:45.782+11:002023-03-29T10:48:45.782+11:00Sounds like a great day and to cap it off, kind an...Sounds like a great day and to cap it off, kind and friendly Oliver Fastbender won your heart via your stomach with a nice chicken curry.
