My worst was in a big city in my early 20’s, waiting for a lift and a homeless woman ambled up and asked me for some money. I didn’t have a penny on me, so apologised and said as much…she patted me kindly on the arm, looked me straight in the eyes and said ‘I know the feeling love’ and wandered away. I do hope someone gave her some! And I once got accosted by a fortune teller who grabbed my hand, told me some accurate stuff, gave me a couple of glass beads and asked me for the exact amount of money I had in my purse 😮 I was so surprised I gave it to her….even though it was my lunch money!Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Apparently the Queen Mother's long lost sister chose to sit next to me on a faintly empty bus once. She was a bit whiffy and quite drunk so I hope she wasn't on her way to the Palace for a visit - of course she could have been on her way home from a visit 🤷♀️4
