EDITORS COMMENTS
In this delightful print captured in 1950, we see young Norman Whiting, aged 11, fully embracing his role as a milkman on weekends. Ever since he was eight years old, Norman has taken it upon himself to play the part of a real milkman without expecting any monetary reward. Instead, he finds immense joy and amusement in donning the traditional attire and delivering milk bottles to doorsteps. Located in Farnborough, Kent, Norman's dedication to his make-believe profession shines through in this image. Dressed impeccably with a hat perched atop his head and an apron tied around his waist, he truly looks like a professional milkman ready for duty. Norman's commitment to this imaginative endeavor not only showcases his youthful enthusiasm but also highlights the simplicity and innocence of childhood. It serves as a reminder that sometimes the most fulfilling experiences come from engaging in activities purely for fun rather than material gain. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time when imagination knew no bounds and children found happiness by immersing themselves wholeheartedly into their chosen roles. Norman Whiting's passion for playing at being a real milkman is evident here – an endearing testament to the power of imagination and finding joy in life's simplest pleasures.
