Comments on: Patch, Pot & Print https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/17/patch-pot-print/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 17 Sep 2019 10:17:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Lynne Perrella https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/09/17/patch-pot-print/#comment-1314223 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 10:17:53 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=176833#comment-1314223 So glad to learn about Mary Norden — the photos on her website are stunning. So wonderfully refined, yet rustic. Really beautiful.
I hope we will have the opportunity to see the resultant custom coat, mentioned above.
Surely, a one-of-a-kind garment — Your readers look forward to seeing it.
Thanks, GA, as ever.

However, the number of different versions of “John Barley corn is … large.

But, the last verse of the version I know is … uplifting:

Here’s little Sir John in a nut-brown bowl,
And brandy in a glass;
And little Sir John in the nut-brown bowl
Proved the mightiest man at last.
For the huntsman he can’t hunt the fox,
Nor so loudly to blow his horn,
And the tinker he can’t mend kettle nor pot
Without a little Barleycorn.
