The Bump, TouchType at Nandos, and Isobel does London - 3rd February 2012

It's odds-and-sodds from the end of January and early February: Isobel's Amarylis - "The Armadillo" - flowers dramatically for a few days. Then, there's another TouchType trip to Nando's under Cannon Street Bridge on the South Bank in London. As a result, Nosher has "posh-cam" on the commute in to the City, and so re-visits some of the trackside graffiti shots that have become something of a mild obsession (there's something about the constant war of paint between graffiti taggers and "The Man"). So some of these pics have appeared in a previous alternate version, but were thought worthy of an additional entry with a better camera. Finally, Isobel's off to run a workshop in London for a day, and so it's her turn to get the train. Nosher and Fred become train spotters for a few minutes to see her off.
