I love the picture of him as a baby in Brighton on his Dad’s lap. What is so touching for me is to see how content and satisfied he seems with his life, his home. It’s a lesson to us, endless unsatisfied people. I wish I was like that, genuinely happy. So much history in those pictures

Stan sounds contented with his lot, and looks like he takes care of himself. Long may his health stay good.

And the second color photograph shows a very attractive neoclassical sort of paper. I like both of them.

“Model found guilty of murder- sentenced to death”.

Not a very model model, was she? Hah, hah!

I’m just glad that sweet doggie couldn’t read that headline- might have frightened him!

And loving the lack of cars on Mile End! Any children doing the conga on that road today would be mowed over by cars.

Stan’s dad’s job as mace bearer to the Mayor sounds very grand. I assume the headline on the Evening Standard that the dog is holding is about Ruth Ellis, a tragic story.

I hope he has many more years to come. Great story.
