Hi Helen,

from one homeless man
to another–
even to the pigeons
Who doesn’t love markets? I’ve never been to Kirkgate though…..
helen,
i, for one, have this (thing) about markets; my preference, to have another do my shopping.
though once on that beaten path, i enjoy people watching…

I see those tulips blooming above the legs of pretty young girls. So lovely.
