Re: Pat
Pat I suppose children did not have a lot of say in the matter in those days. Everything seems to have turned full circle. Anyway I think it might get better in the short term.

Re:Kabu
Well I suppose all flowers were wild once. A little tender loving care might do wonders, it depends how tall it grows if it tends to flop over I would certainly put a small spriggy branch or 2 to support it, always be careful of canes one can bend down and poke it in one's eye I always put a plastic cap on top of mine

Re: Adnohr
I think the lard was pretty rough in those days Adnohr a bit like salty soap of course the gentry had cream and butter. One thing in the future we shall all probably be treated alike, except for a few of course

Yes - I do believe I had bread and lard too, but my foster granny put brown sugar on top of that, so it was quite tasty! Great informative poems, this Bess series. As for the second one, not so sure I care for your vision of the future.

we used to have bread and lard when I was a kid...a little salt and it was
very yummy as I remember.
i love your Bess stories. And I think I have a pink growing out back...now covered in snow of course...about 3 feet actually. Anyway it grows wild...should I tame it with stakes??

It can be difficult to remember what's picked up when...I would have falleen as well...I wonder when those headaches will become archaic.

Again I loved the 1914 memories... tucked in safely now
but felt precarious then, I'm sure. Loved the old lady who didn't mince words, cruel though they were.... And you're right - things could (and probably will) get much worse.
