just an old man?

This picture really does mean something to me personally. Only some things in the picture are obvious to the viewer, these being the old man looking out of the window into the garden however it means so much more than that to me. This is my grandad sitting at the dining room having his afternoon tea, something that I never did quite understand, however my nan and grandad used to have this everyday. As well as my grandad there is the statue of the two people on the windowsill. This was given to my nan and grandad for their 60th wedding anniversary, to symbolise a very long marriage with a lot of hardship, including the war and rationing which came with it. Without showing my gran dad's face I can give the viewer an unidentified person that they can relate to themselves. It could potentially be any nan or grandad or mum or dad.
