Delightful photos Erato - thank you for showing.

Agree about the Grandmas and their knitting - my own ma kept my 3 daughters well attired when they were small......

Poor old Soul,

We must be grateful for modern dentistry, having said that I have got all mine, but I really do look after them!  Still getting wrinkles though!  That is scary!
