Cutie pie

They are smiling!

But don’t get used to that! Of course I love this photo because they are both smiling and it didn’t happen so often, as maybe you already guessed. The set was in the public park close to our house. My mother was still down after her father’s death and she was struggling to take care of me. My father often did the dirty work: trying to put me to sleep, preparing food, washing nappies (there were no disposable ones in those days).

Yes, the sulky cutie pie it’s me.
