At my grandparents house, 79 Seymour Road, Leyton, London, England. My christening was following a fairly secular tradition I think, since none of my family were church goers. It was customary for girls to have two godmothers and one godfather and boys to have one godmother and two godfathers. I don't know if it's still done that way - it's never been like that in the States. My parents lived at my mother's family flat for the first six months on my life as the flat they had found in Walthamstow was being worked on. Phyl, on the left, was the owner of that flat. My mother says they considered themselves very fortunate to find that one bedroom duplex as housing was so hard to get in London, even ten years after the war. From L to R: Phyl (I called her Auntie Phyl - don't remember what her last name was), Hilda Allen - she worked with my Dad and was my godmother, Auntie Pearl, my mother's sister - my other Godmother, my Nana Ann Gregory, Me, in the shawl, my mother and Uncle Arthur, my mother's brother who was my Godfather.

My Nana and Grandad at their flat - 79 Seymour Road, Leyton. First of a new set I'm going to do on Seymour Road. My mother says my Grandad never liked this picture. It's one of the few we have where he's not dressed up with a suit and waistcoat. I think it's a wonderful portrait of them. It's in a small frame on m desk.

Sandy lived to be over 18 and was the cat I remember my grandparents having until we left for the States. He was a big ginger cat. (Actually, no, now I remember that Sandy had died, and they had a black cat, "Kitty".) Taken at the back door, 79 Seymour Road. 1949

Arthur about 1924. Taken on Seymour Road in Leyton, London. My mother's brother born in 1920. The railings on top of the walls were taken down and the iron used in WW2.
