In the nearby town of Everton, someone has taken it upon themselves to ensure that people who are waiting for the regional bus which takes them to larger centres can do so in style and comfort.
The furnishings change with the seasons or special holidays. I’m not quite sure what this cozy setting represents, but isn’t it nice that trust prevails, and the panda bear can be safely left there?
Hello World 
I thought it was a shelter for the fans of Everton in Liverpool going to the match of football .

Everton must not have many fans, Michel, to be able to fit into that little shelter! 🙂
We have so many towns named after places in England, there’s a Liverpool in another state, for example.

This is the world I want to live in. One where neighbors can cozy up the bus shelter and be reasonably sure that it won’t be vandalized by miscreants or the state. 🙂

A lovely idea and who knows what it might lead to. A new charitable feeling in the town? A more friendly view of our neighbours? And perhaps when the sofa does turn dirty and soggy, the same good Samaritans will tow it away to the local dump? Let’s be positive and see only the good in this action.

Quite the opposite of the bus stops in my town where they put rails across the benches (where there are benches at all) to prevent the homeless from sleeping on them.

Wonderful post Yvonne!! I love that someone cares enough to want to do this and that the users care enough not to trash it! Good things happening in the world!!
It reminded me of my early childhood, back just before everyone had a phone in their own home. The call box at the end of the street was watched over by its nearest neighbour. She made gingham curtains for the windows, placed a small stool under the telephone and regularly had fresh flowers in a jar sitting on the money box – I thought it was ordinary call box presentation. I still remember the shock I felt when I realised that not all public call boxes were cared for so nicely.
