In 1939, the King of England had them made up to let his people know it was going to be okay. My daughter just told me that in response to my post "A Crisis," about Kurt losing his job. She provided a link in her comment if you want to see the poster.<br /><br />www.GreenerPastures--ACityGirlGoesCountry.blogspot.comGreener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078590763703071653.post-32011024893074178402009-10-10T15:14:52.449+01:002009-10-10T15:14:52.449+01:00"Sometimes we look at the changed world we li..."Sometimes we look at the changed world we live in and wonder how our children will cope. The answer is, of course, that it will all look perfectly normal to them, and they will just get on with living their lives, albeit in a way we perhaps can't imagine, or even understand."<br /><br />words of wisdom here:) Thanks for this endearing post Gilly. It made me smile and ponder. You are a blessing. I love that picture of you with the tea party.much2ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392298165950651491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078590763703071653.post-48053110786126286792009-10-09T19:10:31.542+01:002009-10-09T19:10:31.542+01:00I am new to this forum and looking for blogs to fo...I am new to this forum and looking for blogs to follow.

When I look at my own kids, I think that they have some things a lot harder than when I was their age, and then other things are much easier for them. I worry about them being able to make their own way in life with employment (or rather lack of it) being as it is. But at least we are not being bombed out of our houses - that must have been really hard. Sending you and Sue lots of love. xxxDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078590763703071653.post-81997171247912504262009-10-08T02:42:48.934+01:002009-10-08T02:42:48.934+01:00I love seeing the photos, Gilly.

They remind me of the photos my grandmother passed on to me of my Mom and my Aunts and Uncles. <br /><br />Is that the Velveteen Rabbit having tea with you? My mother in law passed on her china tea set she had as a little girl to my daughter Martha....her only grand-daughter. It's a precious treasure now the GrandMim (Martha's name for her) has passed on. <br /><br />Have a wonderful trip.....and stay up late and share all those stories. :)awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078590763703071653.post-75440476823337540462009-10-07T19:20:56.421+01:002009-10-07T19:20:56.421+01:00Have a wonderful visit.

We have a family reunion to attend on Saturday and I am really looking forward to talking to the older generation, they have memories of my mother that I hope to add to my own.
