Welcome to the second week of links set by me, Christiana, the Cheerful One, otherwise known as Her Cheerfulness. I hope my choices this week will result in more points scored and therefore more cheerfulness all round.
After the immediacy of last week, I thought I might go back in time to my somewhat different childhood. I moved from Lancashire to a council flat in London at the tender age of 3 and lived there happily for many years. My father was a larger-than-life character who earned his living somewhat precariously, turning his hand to many things, but mostly as a street photographer. It was a somewhat fraught occupation, disapproved of by the police who ‘moved on’ my father and his friends at frequent intervals.
