The Princess and the Pea
Last Sunday it was Father’s Day, and in the Melbourne burbs, the next day was Hard Rubbish Collection Day – another important date on the calendar.
Dad picked me up from the train station, and on the drive back to the ancestral estate, we passed a large stack of mattresses. Instantly, the old fairy tale of the Princess and the Pea sprang to mind, and I determined to find time that afternoon to return to photograph it.
Later, one of my nieces agreed to accompany me on the expedition, and we walked back for a mini photoshoot. I must admit, I was far more worried about the wobbly stack of mattresses toppling over than random mashed peas!
