I love Tara’s gallery but I can’t often enter. My pictures are always rubbish, you see, and I never put photos of my children on my blog. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great when other people post photos of their families and I absolutely love to see them, but it just doesn’t feel right for me. Plus my girls are of an age to object – violently.
So that leaves me with – well, me. It probably seems egotistical (and someone writing a blog about themselves can’t possibly be egotistical, can they? Nooooooo) but I do really like this picture. It’s not, ahem, the best of me ever taken, but it is an honest one, and my smile says a lot. It was taken by Child Two, just after I had finished the final revision of my novel. I look proud, relieved, happy and, frankly, knackered. And yep, I’m still in my dressing gown.
Pretty typical really.

The photos taken by children are always the ones that show your true self
This is a lovely photo

I think you’re right – your children definitely see your soul. Thank you x
