Poet for Hire

Spent most of today without the internet, but it eventually came back. I promptly uploaded my video of crossing the Millennium Bridge on the way to The Globe theatre.
Along the way I passed a chap who would knock out a poem for you. I was going to visit him on my return walk, but he had some customers by then.
Instead I visited the Tate Gallery in the old Battersea power station and had a bit of a Beatles flashback inside!
While the internet was off I was playing with video editors. Still have to get the old brain box around working with wrap around video. Also, need to learn about positioning the camera and keeping my hat out of the shot!

I cannot imagine that poet making much. He is in the the wrong spot, I think he should be in front of a recording studio and perhaps some famous singers would want him to write up lyrics for them, I hope your Internet is working fine now,

Very nice! Thank you! I enjoyed the walk with you...
I could hear what sounded like a horse clomping along at the end of the video. Were there carriage rides or something like that in the area?
Nothing wrong with getting shots of your hat once in a while.

I'm glad you're figuring it out... Wow! It really sounds like a horse clomping along to me! Amazing that it was somebody rattling coins in a can doing that!

@DaddyEvil I could hear it before I past him and thought there was a horse around
