Save Livejournal Month, Day 11: Buses

Image by Tom Cracknell

A bus ride on a Sunday afternoon, to meet sushidog for a coffee near the Round Chapel, where she’s helping her sister at the East London Vintage Fair.

The 308 comes to a stop at the garage. The driver slowly stands up and stares at me and the other passenger left inside.

‘That was the last stop.’

‘The bus said it was going to Clapton Pond,’ I reply. ‘We are not near a pond.’

He grudgingly shows us the way out – a path that borders the busy and dangerous Clapton roundabout. He then runs through traffic and nearly gets hit.
