Hello again. Well, here we are, back together again for another year of penny spotting. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.
I don’t know about you but I’ve got a pretty bad case of the January blues. It doesn’t usually happen, but this time it smashed into me like a wrecking ball on New Year’s Eve, and has temporarily sapped my penny spotting ability. Not to worry though.
Owing to the spirit of generosity that’s around at this time of year, I have received a few offerings to ease the project into the new year.
Wednesday, Simon handed over a penny he’d spotted in the doorway of EAT in Holborn, where he’d just had an espresso (it’s those hyper-heightened senses you see. God I love coffee).
Also on Wednesday, Alex came back after lunch with a penny and slid it under my nose as I read the Sun. He’d found it on the stairs in our office.
Thursday, Alex gave me another penny, this time with the words ‘I’m not sure if you’ll want this one’. Turns out he found it on the floor in the gym changing room. Mmm mmm.
Later on Nix handed over a penny she’d picked up at Macclesfield train station, much to the dismay of her husband.
