Many know my more recent genre Buses and Girls photography as those earlier buses I really like have all gone so now I enjoy my bus hobby more for the photography. As well as being an artist I owned a small transport business before I retired but today I have a little job too driving a minibus dong a school run to Wolverhampton in the afternoon and occasionally other jobs. It gets me out and about and satisfies my childhood ambition to drive a bus.

TL Lausanne: Van-Hool Midibuses 122 & 123
Although one sees few other operators other than the City's TL and no post buses either in Lausanne itself this rather contrasty charasmatic Swiss city on Lake Geneva has a distinct cosmoplitian french feel that includes sometimes it's buses, it's architecture and of course it's delightful girls. On a cold winter's day in the early-Nineties two Van-Hool midibuses pass one another as smart lady in a cinemon coloured overcoat waits to cross the road. The police had stopped to check the papers of a couple of vagrant hippy types crossing the bridge, and so even Lausanne isn't quite that laid-back, but it's one of the places I would choose to live.
