My first encounter was with Olly with his daughter Lexi, by the Warrick Reservoir at the start of the Lea Valley trail. I have two boys, so any time I see a father with a daughter I am immediately drawn to them.
Lexi and Olly
I would very much have loved a daughter. I can imagine how much fun we would have had going shopping together (I have a very good eye but am a terribly influence; financial prudence has long since been banished to the whore house!) and, should she have been so inclined, given her dating advice on how to get the best from the men in her life. But two boys were enough so instead those experiences must come vicariously.
Lexi laughed and toyed with the camera via a vivacious and effervescent smile.
