Peace Vigil Woman

The steps of St. Martin's in the Field, right across the street from Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery in London, attract all manner of protesters, tract pushers, demonstrators, kibitzers, jokers, nuts, sycophants, travellers, acolytes and plenty of weirdos. This pleasant woman seemed to be a Buddhist intent on maintaining a peace vigil in support of Tibetan monks. I think that's what she was doing. I'm not really sure, because when I asked her she just smiled at me, tapped her little drum and chanted quietly. I'm really not sure what she was on about. Seemed harmless enough though, and her yellow jacket and safron wrap looked wonderfully colourful.
