Free Hugger

Another shot from my London rugby weekend in February. Unfortunately it went by all too quickly. I will be back over the Summer. Well, I hope so anyway.

 

So back to Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, where the devout Muslims and Christians were selling their wares and amidst it all, one guy was offering 'free hugs'.

 

As I asked for a shot, two people to the left of the photo said, "Oh, but you need a hug too".

Putting on my most macho laugh, I gave them a dirty look and said, "No, no, I just want a photo".

 

"Oh go on", they replied, "a hug for a photo". Puffing out my chest, and in my deepest voice I said, "OK".

I got a hug and a photo.

 

Afterwards, I thought that maybe it's not so bad to admit that we all need a hug sometimes.
