It wasn't just a lock of hair, but a whole HEAD of it, a bit like a wig - made me wonder if it wasn't a Romsey Bog Body, and all but the hair had gone and stained red by the bog . . . Gosh, I feel a story coming on!<br /><br />MM - my daughters had dresses with pinafores, so I indulged myself when they were little and fully intend to do the same again when their are - hopefully - little grand daughters.

I'm pretty sure there won't be any cows crossing the square these days! The mystery of the lock of hair is just fascinating - it could easil;y form the basis of a novel....Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
