Yesterday or yesteryear?

Quite what this old lady will do with all those leaves I don’t know. And she’s certainly got plenty to pick from. But although it was a scene that was played out only yesterday, it’s presumably one that could also have been pictured anytime yesteryear.

      Yeah, I know what you mean. It certainly struck me as a little bleak somehow.

      Ah, I wondered it was for compost, as I’ve sen so many different kinds of people collecting them. Cheers Willy!
