Valentines Day Hugs

Still at South Bank on Saturday witn Maggie and this group of kids were going around offering free hugs.
I scored one up near some markets from the young girl after Nanna got her go and then 30 mins or so later down by the river they came along again (obviously looking for me) and I scored a couple more.
The guy in the blue shirt (top right) asked if I wanted a hug but I told him to bugger off, I was waiting for the girls and pointed him in Nanna's direction. You can see how pleased the girls were to find me again. Must be my animal magnetism.

If you have not heard of Steeleye Span before, you may like to listen to some of their music. They were a olde English folk rock group from the 70s and I love their music. Maddy Prior was the lead female singer and the produced some brilliant harmonies

With friendly people like this chasing after you, Valentine's is bound to become your favorite holiday.
