The big eyes, the straight eye brows; if I could find a photo where Amelia is looking up the similarity would be really striking. The top photo is, of course, (cue Devil’s Gallop) Lady Amelia Biscuit-Crumb herself taken today while we bundled her up in dungarees ready for another day of fun with the excellent childminder. Beneath it is a photograph of my father taken at some point in the mid ’50s looking like butter wouldn’t melt – and ironically enough it seems he *was* a disgustingly good child!
