I found
an old photograph of my village. The cars in it would not be fashionable now.
There aren’t many cars either. What season is it? It’s summer. I think, because
there are deck chairs outside the café. And there are awnings over some shop
windows. The weather is dry – there are no puddles at all in the street, and
the ground looks sandy. What time is it? Early morning, perhaps, although the
shadows are short. So, perhaps it's noon. It’s not very busy – perhaps it’s Sunday! Has the place
changed? Look at a more recent photograph. The cars are bigger. There are more cars
and the street isn’t sandy.
