World Hello Day

Today is the 37th World Hello Day: but what is this day I hear you ask! Well, World Hello Day was begun in response to the conflict between Egypt and Israel during 1973. Since then people in 180 countries have taken part in this day. So what do you have to do to take part? Well, go up to 10 people and say hello, that's all. It's all about promoting world peace through communication rather than conflict. So I thought why not promote peace in Barton by taking a wander around the streets and seeing who I could find to say hello to. This could also be known as 'Picture with a Pug Day'!

My first victim: Ray Elliott, Baysgarth Museum Volunteer Extraordinaire.

Mark from The Volunteer Arms, with Pug.

Alan Sipling from The Pet Shop, also with Pug.

Ciao! It's Paul Farrow and Elio Grossi from Elio's Italian Restaurant.

Salvatore Cardone, busy in Elio's kitchen, but with enough time for a quick hello.

Josh Mundey from Sylini's, with Pug.

Hello Mr Mark Tastee Loughran! 

My final two victims: Jo Edge and Maureen Collier from The Wilderspin School.

Thanks to all my Hello victims!
