lavender - I hate to dampen your enthusiasm.

In the warmth of the summer sun, it sickens me greatly to be corralled in a bus with some who evidently have no regular relationship with water either in the shower/bath or whirling in the washing machine.

Our ancestors were never like this - they had a slice of cleanliness with them.

Pew!

The automatic washing machine.

Surely, it's the one device that would have saved our ancestors very many hours of heavy drudgery every week.

I think they would be astounded to see their laundry spun around in water, emerging spotless some time later :-D

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are doing well.


I think most of us who are doing research have a favourite ancestor.

If you could, what invention or item (that we all take for granted now)
would you tell them about?


Take gentle care all
Best wishes
Elizabeth,
xx
