1. Caption only: The Polaroid that Yousuf Karsh forgot! He came to Lakefield in January 1978 to photograph me, and used the instant Polaroid pictures as a kind of first draft in deciding what composition he wanted. He wouldn’t let me see them – but this one fell on the floor and was left behind. Probably the only Karsh picture of me I’ll ever have – he didn’t volunteer to give me one of the finished ones! Later, however he sent me a copy of his book Karsh Canadians in which a picture of me appears. [Photo was removed from album prior to donation.]

1. Living room, with my two stained-glass windows, and the owl picture that Alan gave me. In left corner is a pine chest, once a cabinetmaker’s tool chest, some 100 years ago. Colour.
2. Front hall. Oak floors. The Victorian hall stand is a bit crazy but somehow looks right here. Chair is a beautiful old press back. Colour.
3. Front Hall, looking into living room. The light fixture is a very odd Cranberry-glass one, which may have once been a gas-light. On the small walnut table is the white china horse from Elmcot. Colour.

1. The staircase in the Front Hall, rather elegant and suited for brides sweeping down, I think. The mahogany silver chest from Elmcot fits in very well. I don’t live an elegant life, but I do still like this front hall. Stairway to the second floor taken from the first floor. Colour.
2. Kitchen – Dining room. I don’t have any formal entertainments, so a kitchen-dining room suits my lifestyle, as it did at Elm Cottage. The table is a very beautiful old Ashwood as is the sideboard. The chairs are old press backs. Margaret Laurence and Mary Perlmotter sitting in the kitchen, viewed from the living room. Colour.

2. Margaret Laurence’s bedroom – with walnut bed, and bedspread which was handwoven in Ontario about 1860. In foreground, a cherrywood chest of drawers which is actually very close in colour to the bed – the pics aren’t accurate. Margaret Laurence’s bed room. Colour.
3. The Blue Room – Jocelyn’s. The guilt (done by the same old lady) is in the pattern of ‘Starry Path’. The floor, as in The Green Room and my Study, is the original pine. Jocelyn Laurence’s bedroom with view of the top of the stairs. Colour.

My father had attended St. Andrews for part of his High School before World War One. The present Headmaster, Thomas Hockin, very kindly looked up the old records and got me a copy of my father’s record. Note, later entries. My dad must have notified his old school of my birth.
