This is a photograph
This is my Grandma’s house in Devon. I think that’s one of my cousins with my Grandma’s dog Yarty. My brother and I used to go there in the summer when I was wee. We had a paddling pool in the back garden.
This is me with my dog Jane. My hair is really short because I asked Mum to cut it all off. I really thought that people would think I was a boy. Jane is just a puppy here.I got to pick her out of the litter and name her myself, which is why she has a strange name for a dog. Jane died about three years ago, and I wasn’t there.
This is my brother, with my parents new dog, Jed. Jed moved in when I had moved out so we never really became great friends. My brother lived in this house for a while after I left. When I went back I felt like a stranger. My family seemed to speak a new language.
This is a photograph. I found it in a charity shop. I don’t know where it was taken or who it is of. But I think its important.
