Day Three

Day Three began with another bike ride across central London, over Blackfriars bridge and then up to Euston, but this time I took my bike on the Tring train, then cycled along the Grand Union Canal, disturbing the heron as I did.

I worked with some children from Ashmead Combined School in Aylesbury for the day, helped by Marcus Pickover, their great co-head, and also Kate, who is an education assistant at College Lake. Alistair Will also popped in in the morning.

We had a great day - it was the final day of four that I have worked with the group.

Their experience really showed in terms of their mastery of especially photography, but also words, and their confidence and initiative.

We wrote some haiku, and also took some photos after spending time looking at portrait and landscape photos by the great and not-so-great.

After the school left, I spent a few hours writing and photographing.

Below are some of my own photos - words to follow.

I will ask the students if I can put their words and photos up when I next see them.
