That’s brilliant, Mike. Yes, even better than people-watching is talking to strangers and I admit to doing that. I’ve met so many interesting people over the years, especially at airports. The best one was in Hawaii on a bus recognising the kiwi accent with some young ones, turned out they had visited our orchard and remembered us. Keep on P-W and enjoying your pies!!!

As I am a planned shopper, that is, I know what I want, dash in and get it if I can, and leave just as quickly, a lot of my P-W hours are waiting for Carol to finish wandering through shop after shop enjoying whatever takes her fancy. If it is going to be a long time (I am advised of this before she departs) I may order something to go with my coffee – something I don’t get at home. Maybe a pie (stop screaming, Fee). However, I enjoy, like you, wondering about the people around me. Late last year I was at a Mall at Mt Maunganui having Chinese when a Maori family sat next to me and we got chatting as I am inclined to do. They were visiting from near Whangarei. They asked where I lived and when I said Waihi, they said their neighbour came from there. Being a smallish town and having lived there for nigh on fifty years now, I asked what the neighbour’s name was. It turned out he was an ex-pupil of mine. Small world. And a much more interesting way to eat my lunch.
