A FIRST-TIME mother is sealing her baby's first News Shopper in a time capsule.

Rosie Austin, 33, came up with the idea for her four-month-old daughter Ruby.

The capsule will also contain Ruby's first baby photos, her baby clothes, a cast of her footprints and her hospital identity bracelet.

Mrs Austin said: "My mum died when I was three years old and I have nothing like this to look back on.

"It will let her know what she was like when she was a baby."

Mrs Austin and her husband, delivery driver Dennis, 43, will give the time capsule to their daughter when she is 18 or when she has her first child.

It will be kept in the loft of their house in The Avenue, Beckenham, until then.
