More lovely boats!\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/toyboats18-730642ae7c.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nCut me a bit of slack on this one, I drew it while being watched by a group of about 30 French school children. I heard one of them say '\u003Ci>bande dessinée\u003C/i>', and suddenly there they were. I think their teacher got a bit cross with them because they didn't look at the exhibition, just stood there watching me draw, and telling off each other for jostling me. \\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/toyboats14-8f6e539bae.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nAnd this is one of my favourite landscapes in London, but it's too wide to photograph well. Sometimes the light hits the creek and the boats and the buildings and it's absolute magic. And I like the rusty old workings of the cargo boats. \\r\n\u003C!--more More photos under the cut-->\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/toyboats15-4f9ae0f66c.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\nLots of new buildings going up around here, it's fun to watch.\\r\n\\r\n\u003Cimg src=\"https://images.jabberworks.co.uk/lj/toyboats16-40de4a4fe3.jpg\">\\r\n\\r\n\\r\nJust in case you missed it, \u003Cb>Darryl Cunningham\u003C/b> (\u003Ca href=\"http://tallguywrites.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">tallguywrites\u003C/a>) is on a roll with his excellent comic about the MMR vaccination scare.
