My First Photos

[poliphilo]

These are pictures I took with my very first camera- a Kodak Box Brownie. The year must be 1957 or 58. The grumpy tot is my sister Jenny. I remember our garden in Croydon as being enormous- but clearly it wasn't. It sloped steeply up the side of the valley, to the woods of Croham Hurst at the top. Under the apple tree where my parents and sister are sitting I once watched a dead hawk moth being eaten by ants. The corgi's name was "Becky".

I'm glad you unearthed your scanner.
I'm really enjoying your pictures here.
John bought a deck chair at a boot sale. We've never had one but after hiring one at the beach this year he decided it was the most comfortable to sit in the garden

A clever invention, the deck chair. But you have to be really careful not to get your fingers nipped!
