I wish I'd had my camera with me. She sat right opposite me on the train.Bright red coat,chest covered with " medals" all kinds of badges- mostly cats. She could have stepped right out of a Harry Potter film round glasses, colourful beaded earings and a knitted hat. Chirpy.
It wasn't long before she struck up a conversation. She liked my Indian scarf. I thanked her and told her I'd bought it in the market in Bradford,
Well , that did it , I could hardly get a word in edgeways after that. This lady was in love with London. She went there all the time. Her cats preferred food from Harrods; she'd got a Harrod's card, like Portobello Road and rattled on for the next ten minutes about this that and the other.. can't remember.. but she made me laugh.I was almost sorry I had to get off. A most unusual and entertaining meeting.
