Our second attempt: Hyde Park

After the previous day's triumph, we returned to our spot in the fig avenue in Hyde Park.

Uma

I allowed myself to use the word "beautiful" because Uma is a child.

Rebecca Shipley

Later I realised I was trying to describe a sea-shell. Later still a friend (Paul) was reading over our descriptions, and he said the "deep sockets" made this woman sound ghoulish. That wasn't my intention. She was lovely looking, but what sort of a description is "lovely looking"?

Linda

Charise and Tom

Charise and Tom were possibly on their first date.

Celia

Celia needed extra time to finish her sketch of me, so she got a few more lines than some of our other customers. There is often more to say about the faces of older people. She insisted on reading aloud my description of her: "A writer must hear her work!" Thankfully, this one was a description that I was happy with.
