A guest post!<\/strong>
\nMy lovely husband sent these pictures from his phone while he was out of the office for lunch this week.<\/p>\n

\"Look<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Look<\/a><\/p>\n

He found it incongruous to be sitting on a bench with two very nice and very funny homeless guys looking over at the seat of power in this country.
\nThey didn’t comment when he took the picture of the Houses of Parliament, I suppose everyone does that but they wanted to know why he was taking a picture of the pigeon. He told them it was for me, that I took pictures looking up and down each week. They began to laugh. One said, about the other, “Oh! he looks up and down a lot too, up at the stars at night and down at the pavement in the morning”.<\/p>\n

I would have avoided the men but my husband engaged with them, they talked to each other and they made him laugh especially when he asked them where they would sleep tonight. Apparently they were fed up with the Dorchester and the Savoy, they thought they would find somewhere else tonight….<\/p>\n
