Oh. My. Word!

I took today off to have a long weekend and met my lovely friend Renee. We had a great time wandering around, having lunch and conversing about all sorts of things.

We had had a good afternoon and were making our way back to the tube station when we ran into Paul Weller. 

I imagine many of you will not have a scoobie who he is, but I’ve had a crush on him since 1982 when I was 15 and he was in The Jam. He has a reputation of being very grumpy but he could not have been more kind or gracious. Part of me instantly reverted to being 15 again and I did gush a bit, but hopefully not too much! He was happy for me to move him along the street a bit for a photo (he even asked if I was a professional photographer!) and then gave us both a hug before going on his way. 

Oh. My. Word! Both Renee and I were a bit star struck. I felt a strong need to sit down! What a day!!

Here he is on Jools Holland last year.
