Knife sharpening.

This was once a very well known sight in Spain....the knife sharpener.
He used to cycle around the neighbourhoods, and villages, announcing his arrival by playing on a distinctive set of pipes. Housewives would queue up to have their knives and scissors sharpened foa a few pesetas.
I've just seen this machine, hitched up to a scooter....how much faster everything has become!!....
But no sight nor sound of the man himself.
