I'm glad I'm checking now. Thanks again to Sue C for her blog about it.<br />Maybe it was unusual - I thought it was fairly common at the time, one of those fashion things, but perhaps not. Anyway, it was right - Dad never shirked from playing his part in household tasks and Mum did her share of the more 'manly' things too. It was more what each could do, rather than should do. Great role models. xxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116524003944939298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-54052337667637867252022-06-22T04:29:30.121+01:002022-06-22T04:29:30.121+01:00I love a lupin bed - masses and masses of them, al...I love a lupin bed - masses and masses of them, all the colours of the rainbow.
