Sister Smiley

One more from Edinburgh.

There we were, having sampled a few pre-match pints to help build up the atmosphere, and keep us warm on the way to the stadium.

As we walked to the ground, we were approached by the lady above, apparently a Hindu nun, looking for some contributions in order to help her save more souls (I'm not sure if that was her exact mission, but something along the lines of the Hindu equivalent of soul-saving).

My philosophy is never to argue with a woman carrying CDs entitled "The Three Gates Leading to Hell".

Having parted with a pound sterling, I asked her if I could take a photograph. I think she was surprised, but then gave a big 'go ahead' smile.

That's the first time I've ever asked a stranger if I could take their picture! (I just noticed that my photostream has a lot more 'people' in it recently - not a concious decision either way!).

For the record, the 'three gates leading to hell' are lust, anger, and greed. I'm doomed!!
