This is for you John

I was telling my friend Sandy (left) about this Blipfoto thing and how you come across people across the oceans often with completely different life experiences, but with whom you find a connection. So I told him about this truck driver from Portland Oregon who drives thousands of miles down west coast highways, but finds the time to see his old Dad who’s very poorly every weekend and in a very busy hard working life still watches and takes beautiful photos of birds. An overall diamond geezer. So as we waited for Steve Winwood to come on, we took this selfie to say hi to John Smiley all the way from sunny Manchester
