Thanks to The Ned Hotel for hosting another drawing and reading event with The Little Neds on the weekend. A good time was had by all.
This time, we were at the other end of the Lutyens building ie. in the basement next to the enormous vault. We talked about dinosaurs and where to find them, and we drew dinosaurs and mice and discussed the difficulties of composing a picture with things of such differing size. But the children didn’t have many problems. And they were happy to show their drawings and tell me about their pets.
Thank you to everyone at The Ned, especially Naomi, Victor, and Rebecca. And to Phil of course. And to The Little Neds whose names I have remembered: Isaiah, Francesca, Jasper, Jessica, Charlotte, and the two girls who were always smiling, and the other girl who was a fine drawer and showed me her terrific drawings in her notebook.
This is what I remember.
