my mother was a lion tamer




Almost. My mother was a veterinary nurse, it's similar. Replace lions with Rottweilers. And angry cats. And once there was an owl, I don't think he was angry though.


I would like to be a lion tamer.


I would also like this print by paulofnavrone, who also lives in Glasgow and whose mother did a lot of very interesting things.

  2. Why did I think your mum was a lawyer? Clearly, she's a lady with mad skills.

  5. Yay for vet nurses turned lawyers. Similar skills and lots of rottweilers in both professions. Does this mean you had a strict mum and want to be a strict mum? Or does it just mean you want to be a lion tamer?

  6. i love that print too. i think owls by definition are rarely angry (unless you steal their mice)

  7. Just think in 20 or so years your girls will be telling people - my Mum and Dad are wedding photographers they create magical memories that people treasure for years and years.

    I think all mothers are lion tamers in one form or another.
