doppleganger from 1902.

Let me tell you something about the above pictures.

The girl with the fringe and the cheeky sideways grin is my great-grandmother Millie. This is her class photo from 1902. 

She looks exactly like me.

When me and my sister Sam were going through Grandad's things after he passed away two years ago, we found this picture hanging on his wall. Never having properly studied it, we took a good look and Mum pointed out, "Look, there's Millie!". Looking from her to me, they gasped.

We took the photo around the whole family and everyone was saying the same thing. It looks like I'm standing there, with the fringe (I had that exact fringe at the time, and trust me, it is just as boofy!), with the hair, with the cheeky side grin, the nose, the face shape. 

I feel such an eerie honour to look just like my beautiful great-grandmother Millie. It's so wonderful!
