I should be sewing the wedding napkins ~ but I'm totally engrossed with my reading at the moment. As I continue to research my family's roots - mostly my 3 British grandparents of whom 2 where Barnardo Home Children, I keep finding new library books to read.
Uprooted - The Shipment of Poor Children to Canada, 1867-1917 by Roy Parker
We have a total of 4 British Home Children in our family. My maternal grandfather and his brother, my paternal grandmother, and my great aunt's husband. Interesting to note - my great aunt thumbed her nose down at my paternal grandmother because she was a British home child.....ha ha ha....my great aunt's husband was also a home child, but was born in France to British parents. Good Grief!!
So far today, we have missed the snow that has hit many areas around us. But it's cold outside and no thoughts of gardening has crossed my mind. I filled the bird feeders up this morning, so the poor birds will have lots of food to see them through this cold spell.
