From Phong:
I was wondering that myself.
A stranger let you into her home ?
You must be a charmer :-)
Of these, I like Tony the best, for the composition and subject
matter. I tend to prefer photos of people doing their things.

==========================================================
Christine is the owner of this 'Showmans' Caravan' which travelling
fairground/circus folk used to live in. It has been maintained in the style
that it was first used (1946), right down to the 'Picture Post' magazine on
the
table. I asked her if she would sit at the table to lend scale and human
element to the scene. During the course of our conversation I got her name.
There are two more pics here of the interior:

The baby in the frame on the radio is Christine as is the young woman on the
mirror.
Incidentally, if there is anyone from New Hope, Pennsylvania reading this,
one of the trucks from your Baptist church has finished up in a field in the
English countryside. How on earth did that happen? There is a pic on the
same page under the two caravan interiors if proof is required.
