I love where I live. The annual Santa’s parade came round again this evening and Husb and I went down to the main road at the end of our street to watch it go by. Some of my Muslim neighbours were out in their headscarves and Ugg boots enjoying the celebrations with their kids.
And next to me was a young African student in wild red and black checked shorts (it’s quite mild here at the moment). He was filming it all on his I Pad and streaming it to relatives back home.
There’s a brothel opposite and some of the shady ladies came out and sat on the windowstill to see the parade. The large man seemed to be one of their regulars. I heard him say that he’d be up after Santa had gone. It was great standing in the street with thousands of people from all walks of life, all having a lovely time, all sober, all enjoying ourselves. Nice 😀
Great drawings
Thanks, Martin 🙂
Loved this! Sian xx

Thanks. Some might find their way into my new exhibition in the Brunswick in December
I can’t believe Santa’s already come and gone though… isn’t he a bit early? 😛 Lovely sketches and very interesting people!
haha gets earlier each year lol
You’re right there. I see him straight after Halloween these days, in the supermarket 😛
