I felt for the five children also and, part of me would like to think things turned out well for all of them. My Mum often talks of the coalman.

Did the fish man ever call? I remember as a child here in Australia during the war the fish man coming with lovely shiny smelly fish that he would have in a big basket with a lid on and he scaled and/or filleted the fish by the back door. I had forgotten that until your memory paintings. The other was the ice man. Oh and the baker in his specially shaped art and my mother rushing out to collect the horses manure for her garden.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177627504060328999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23198946.post-42318407305732824332007-06-07T15:24:00.000+10:002007-06-07T15:24:00.000+10:00You do such a wonderful job not only of painting t...You do such a wonderful job not only of painting the pictures but of telling the stories.
