I love Colin’s portraits of the traveller children. It’s really nice to see some of today’s east end kids.

And the Ferron family have beautiful children.

The moon doth shine as bright as day.
Leave your supper, and leave your sleep,
And join your playfellows in the street.

Come with a whoop, and come with a call,
Come with a good will or come not at all.
Up the ladder and down the wall,
A penny loaf will serve us all.

(Irish)

Nice pictures from innocent childhood times…!

Love & Peace
ACHIM
