Ackee is from Jamaica and is a national dish. The
parishes cook it on a Sunday morning with either
fried dumplings or boiled green bananas, but mostly
dumplings. The children loved fried dumpling.
My sister embroidered this for me.
Rachel Knight
Watering can
This was given to me by a young
girl who I used to take to do
gardening at my allotment.
We’d eat homemade almond
biscuits and then weed or plant
seeds, build a pond or look for
slow worms.
Naomi Browne
Japanese keyring
A friend sent it to me from Japan.
When I lived in Japan she was my
Japanese mum. Japan changed
my life. I’m not sure whether it
was for the better or not!

Easter chick
It’s a chick. It’s cuddly. The Easter
Bunny gave it to me.
Music is so important to me. My
brother was in the Bristol Royal
Infirmary where he nearly died;
he has just recovered and when
he came out he played one of the
pianos in the street. He’s a blues
pianist, I’m a blues singer.
