No stranger - Brother Andrew

As I left Hundred Men's Hall at St Cross after a recent visit, Brother Andrew arrived on his motability scooter.

We passed the time of day, including me asking for yet another portrait. (Brother Andrew was one of my early stranger portraits and we have met by chance often since.)

I asked how he was and he told me 'Fine' and then quickly said 'No' explaining that he had recently spent 14 hours in A&E after a fall - but that he was 'in good spirits' still which we both agreed was the most important.

Lovely portrait. He’s wearing a very beautiful brooch… looks very cool with his scarf.

How nice that you bump into each other now and again. He must st enjoy a chat.

Pat, I guess I'm so used to the name now! The history of it is that The Hospital of St Cross was founded to give shelter to 13 needy men and The Hundred Mens Hall was designed to feed 100 poor men a midday meal at the gate. Now visitors can buy coffee and cake in there!
