He Jiabao with his self-portrait.
No visitors came from Beijing this weekend, but it didn't stop us having an art session with some local kids who seem to magnetise towards the yard. The task was simple: Join some sheets of paper together, lie on the paper and draw round each person then decorate the larger than life-size pictures. The children chattered away all morning as they worked on their self-portraits, which are now stuck up on the art room wall.
The best part was seeing them all tidy up, sweep and mop afterwards, without being prompted. I think the other children find me a bit strict at first but they seem to slot very quickly into the routine of helping out. After joining us for lunch they even cleared the table and washed the dishes. Useful life skills, but will they ever come to visit again?

Freda & Liu Yue are best of friends.
