One for the Purple Cooers!

Helen Allingham's work.

And all I do is plug in a machine.!
OK, I know in those days they had no piped water, the toilet was outside and all the rest of it but just imagine, no newspapers, television or radio. no contact with the Thatchers, Blairs and Browns of the day, I dunno, which is better?

Long ago. Painting by Helen Allingham. I never idolise people but she was so good, I'm making her my hero!!
