The City Is A Building Site

Went up town to meet my friend C who is up for a brief visit from the south coast of England. Nice to catch up over lunch in an Old Town cafe, although why didn't I ask to take her picture at some point? I keep missing out on photo portrait opportunities through what, a lack of self-confidence? And this is asking, or rather, not-asking people who are friends. Clearly I'm still some way off approaching complete strangers and asking to take their picture!
