October Origins: Poodle

My earliest memory is of being carried through a dark tunnel, and some trains or small planes with faces on them. According to my mum this would have been when we went to Blackpool, I was a babe being carried, and the dark tunnel was a subway! I'm amazed our memories can stretch back that far ....
Mum apparently won this ornament at the fairground there, and I remember it being around for what seems like forever.
I always loved it, I like the rather off-the-wall style of it. When mum died, and dad asked what I'd like of hers this was one of my choices.
So this Poodle ornament has been part of my life since just after I was born.
