Re: Really nice strangers
I love old people.
On my way to college, I used to walk pass the same old man every morning. He looked like he was always on his way to work [he must have been about 70+?]. He used to smile and tip his typical old man hat to me and I'd smile back. After a few months of this, he started saying hello and later, we'd stop to have a good old natter about the weather and life in general. He was so sweet and so posh.
I haven't seen this him in a few years now, I don't walk in that direction anymore but I'm surprised I haven't seen him around. Maybe he retired?
