It was my birthday last week and my family decided to take me to London. We visited HMS Belfast and then climbed the monumnent which are two things we had never done before as a family.

Later in the afternoon we went for a walk along The Southbank as the weather was stunning and were met with throngs of people. As it was still holiday time there was loads happening with some pretty great street entertainers as there always is. This particular guy had us gripped for quite a while. There was something about his portrayal of Chaplain that had us all captivated.

I noticed too, that the interest was infectious and crossed both age and cultural barriers. It is as if this character had universal appeal and people could not help themselves, they simply had to stop, stay, watch and smile.
