My life In Objects No.2. Baby Photo

This studio photo of me and my teddy would have been taken at about 14 months old, I reckon. I believe the photographer had espied me and asked my mother if he could take a photo of me to display in the Dunedin Railway Station to advertise his photography business.  

My Life in Objects no. 1

 I have just finished my big mug of tea from my Friesian teacup with its lovely blue and white design. Dieter gave it to me on one of our trips  to Wilhelmshaven which is where his mother lived.

She lived in the Kingdom of Heaven, Himmelreich,  a lovely name for a suburb. 

They had a lovely little cottage there and a spacious garden. Mainly  lawn and fruit trees and fruiting shrubs like black and redcurrants, gooseberries, and raspberry canes the fruit of which was turned into copious amounts of delicious jam and jelly and stored in the cellar in small jars until needed for the breakfast table.  

I suppose  that is where I get my propensity for making jam or jelly out of usually small quantities of seasonal fruit like cape gooseberries or guavas and  larger quantities of  jam or marmalade  using plums and citrus fruit.
