Illustration Friday - Old Fashioned


These days people mostly use the internet for courtship purposes; however, in those old-fashioned, mediaeval times, falconry was one of the few activities where male and female women of the opposite sex could mix without causing social disapproval.

It was, and still is, an excellent opportunity to get one's leg over, do a bit of riding, dogging and chasing birds.

Very interresting technique. I really like it. And your illustration certainly is old-fashioned. :D

I think that you have included a huge lot of outrageous innuendo in this post Ms Simpson. I also think that you are more than a little bit naughty in a sort of 'Nudge, nudge, know what I mean' sort of fashion.
