Week 15 Me

This is me at 9 months - almost 50 years ago!
Yes, they had cameras back then!
After nearly 50 years, it warms the heart to look back on this photo.  It was  taken in Glasgow by a travelling portrait taker.  I was plopped quite neatly on the settee, a crust of bread in my hand, in case I was overcome with hunger ... which apparently happened often, judging on the size of the body!  I know the camera man was saying, smile but I was a stubborn young lass and was more interested in maintaining a balanced pose than smiling sweetly!
50 years later and I am smiling sweetly while maintaining a balanced pose.
 It's still difficult.
