Ailz's Childhood

[poliphilo]

All she wants for Christmas is her two front teeth

 

With her grand-dad Rogers
 

Marching in a Whit Walk. (She's the one in the background in the little white hat)

Is that a Whit Walk as in Whitsunday?
I'm not at all familiar with the custom.
Ailz and her granddad is a lovely picture.
The first one looks like the school photos we had taken every year.

That's right. It's a northern English custom. As a southerner I found it hard to take very seriously. It's an excuse for church people to dress up and march round their territority with banners flying and brass bands blaring away.

I'm not sure if that first picture is a school photo or not, but it certainly could be.
