THE.BACK.OF.MY.MOTHERS.HEAD.

No, not a stand up comedy show- just a photo of the back of my mothers head.

Taken in Howick Hall- where the actual Earl Grey (I was as surprised as you are to find out

he was a real person!) was from, and is of course also the home of Earl Grey Tea- which we

dutifully sipped in the cafe after a walk round the gardens.

I love this photo and I think it may just be my favourite photo I’ve taken in 2012. There’s

something about the light, the trees and my mother’s hair that make me smile when I look

at it.
