Father and his four children

---

This photo was taken - certainly by mother - in front of our home, on the garden side, exactly ...

Behind us one can see the blind window of the cellar. The ground of the cellar is below the garden ground by a bit more than one meter. In this cellar, exactly below the window, there is the stock of coal nuts that are used for the fire in the kitchen. From time to time, the coal sellers stop their truck in the street, carry bags of coal on their backs and pour the coal nuts directly in the stock through the open blind window. Though fading, the specific sound of flowing coal nuts is still in my memory.
