Such a story was a comfort to mothers, who so often lost young children to disease.'Henry Holidayhttp://holidayswithhenry.blogspot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543479898812320085.post-37178111067098693952015-08-10T18:06:50.603+01:002015-08-10T18:06:50.603+01:00Have been wondering who you and your mummy went wi...Have been wondering who you and your mummy went with to see all these interesting historic things.<br />Was it only YOU who went out to the festival from Rose Cottage?<br /><br />An unusual custom of having a painting done when a child unfortunately dies.
