 It's the sort of thing kids make it an infants school.  But I was inordinately proud of this creation. made with the help of Jenny at 'The Create Place'. Its a workshop near York Hall in bethnal Green- runs short courses in crafts- beautifully taught and earnestly taken up by the new East enders- fashionable, affluent and generally friendly- who have displaced quite quickly most of the scowling, pretty depressed locals who used to live around here and would no more have made a hand made card then bought a vegan breakfast and smoothie at the nearby 'Cherry Orchard'- the Buddhist cafe a few yards away.
