I wonder if some point I have qualified for this description… I wonder exactly what you have to do to be β€œan excommunicated strumpet” πŸ˜‚β€¦and I notice the putative father doesn’t get his character blackened… such enlightened times of equality!!

Wait until it feels right for you. It’s still very very new at the moment. Don’t pressurise yourself. Wishing you strength

This is my weekend plan… apart from a Christmas Fair tomorrow afternoon with my daughter. I don’t think it’s going to throw up any surprises but never say never!

@sharrow.bsky.social Hi Janet! I believe a while ago you asked me to create a feed of mother and baby homes content you could follow.

Here it is: bsky.app/profile/did:...

If someone tags a post with # MotherandBabyHomes, it will show up here. ⬇️

It’s blowing a gale outside with trees almost bent double & I have to decide between more redecorating upstairs, a couple of client reports or curling up with some fascinating Black Death research which for some reason I find far too intriguing and slots in very nicely with my #Wattisfield #OPS

I’m in the middle of my #Wattisfield census transcriptions. I’m comforted by the fact many names are still flourishing today, even tho all the pubs and village shop have long gone

Beautiful sketches love-sick soldier sent to his future wife in WWI From his digs in France, Greece and Egypt, Private Henry Page conjured up drawings on the backs of the envelopes he used to send letters to his Essex-based sweetheart, Edith Pedley.
