E14 Revisited
It must be a sign, I thought - a chance for atonement, after my defaming of the East End: Now I get a chance to do a good turn for the tourist board. I just got a letter from the Lea Rivers Trust (who look after the waterways of East London) - actually a questionnaire about whether crime had gone down or up, whether I liked what they'd planted by the side of the canals, etc. Strangely they don't seem to have connected the address they're sending this mail to with the fact that I now live hundreds of miles away from the canal.
Anyway they enclosed this lovely postcard (I swear this isn't a mockup, it's real) - in fact this is the reason they've got my address, see if you can guess which of the photos is mine (clue:it's the gloomiest one...). Apparently the winning entries did a tour of Tower Hamlets libraries, so you will probably know all about it already ;) I just love the idea of sending a postcard home from Limehouse Cut though!
