The delightful man in the park




I was in the park yesterday reading my book as it was such a nice sunny day, unfortunately I sat near this 40 something year old man in an England St George flag on his top. I decided to draw him in one of his more 'relaxed moments'. For the majority of the time he was in the park while I was there he was being abusive to pretty much everyone in the park within earshot distance much to the horror/bemusement of a bunch of old grannies who stood and watched him for a while like it was Jeremy Kyle live. He laid there with his dog Eve, so called because he got her on Christmas Eve he was telling everyone. He then started raving about how he was the only person in the park with a British passport, then he was shouting across to a man on the other side of the little stream who was playing with his toddler near the water, about how 'if the papers were here they'd take a photo of that and put it on the front page saying 'Man tries to kill baby', I thought it was a bit excessive. Anyway, him and his silent and grim hobo friend with their bag of Lidil cider amused me for a while .
