Sophia Lillis, from out of the new version of "It", according to a google picture search: A part originally played by Emily Perkins: Though I dread to think what that says about Ron's childhood.

Not Sophia then, dammit.
(really: a google search got loads of hits, and they all said she was the girl out of It)

I wrote about my childhood memories that was put into a book. It takes in the years when I was born in 1930 from being cruelly treated in a so called Sisters-of-Mercy home up to my farcical wedding day in 1949. All proceeds after printing costs taken out have gone to my local childrens hospice. I went all through the London Blitz and was bombed out twice plus being machine gunned twice so I did not have much of a childhood, but the memories are still with me. This is me aged 6 years taken in 1936.

On my way to Brownies, I often popped into a sweetie shop to buy two ounces of dolly mixtures.

I love all the photographs.
I was given Virol when little. And I loved malt extract. Syrup of figs was horrid. My daughter still buys rusks for herself. Bickiepegs. Delrosa rosehip syrup.
