I could write more about those few hours in the train than I could about the rest of the week. It makes me chuckle just to think about the discussion over whether or not the toilet should be used when the train wasn't moving. A memorable day indeed.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-77162748153069719322011-10-18T18:17:52.494+01:002011-10-18T18:17:52.494+01:00Oh poor you.

I love seeing your sketches. I just can't get enough of them. But I have to say that regardless of how good your sketches are, my favorite sketch and in fact favorite post ever, just has to be the one with the dead pigeon, lol!Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-24435556984517383382011-10-17T21:02:54.040+01:002011-10-17T21:02:54.040+01:00Samantha, thank you so much for visiting and yes, ...Samantha, thank you so much for visiting and yes, I've bought back lots of nice memories.<br /><br />Thanks Keith. I like how even the bad experiences eventually turn into nice reminders. <br /><br />Hi Pat and thank you. While sitting on the stranded train I also sketched some of my fellow passengers ... but my sketching isn't THAT good so those efforts aren't getting published. LOL.<br /><br />Thanks Michael. Regrettably, when I get up, everyone gets up ... and they won't go shopping without me. LOL. I can't wait to get started on the reference photos.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-81660057144187061672011-10-17T15:02:16.924+01:002011-10-17T15:02:16.924+01:00Welcome back, John.

It IS difficult to get time, especially when it's a family outing or holiday. I just used time in the morning before everyone got up or when the rest of the clam went 'shopping' lol:) Look forward to seeing you using those reference photos too :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423986562925121890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-41808869548065841092011-10-17T14:08:21.518+01:002011-10-17T14:08:21.518+01:00Welcome back!
