So I had to pop into town the other day and it was torrential rain! I thought dedication this woman has to her art for of pretending to be a statue, in this horrible weather. So I took a photo of her and mouthed Thank You. I got some money ready and ran over to put in her collection. I couldn’t see where to put the coins and said where do I put the money? No reply! So I looked up to my surprise this was not a lady pretending to be a statue but a real statue! I must wear my glasses more 🤣😂🤣😂
