stranger #2 - Second to the right, and straight on till morning

Meet Roger, my second stranger in my 100 strangers challenge.

 

I was walking home to get my bus when I saw Roger sat on a bench. He had a purple flower in his hair and has to be one of the most remarkable characters I have ever met - he asked me my name, and when I told him it was Rosie, he began singing it at the top of his voice in the middle of the street. I could not stop smiling - he kissed my hand and told me his mother's name was Lily, and that he was Peter Pan. The white on his lip is a tiny petal from a daisy.

I only wish I could have stayed and photographed him for longer - he was out of this world incredible!
