Monday 23
Splendid morning got up and washed some clothes in rain water but before I could get them dry it began to rain, it came down in torrents as they say, it comes on very quick, when it begins there is a rush down below with all the things. We take a can up in the morning with knives and forks and spoons so we have not to keep going downstairs, some days we do not go down at all until I go to put Emmeline to bed then I go up again for a bit, it is seldom she goes to sleep in the daytime so she goes in good time at night, she is running about all day playing with the other children.
(pictured are the ‘B spoons’ probably given to Ruth- Emily’s mother whose maiden name was Bartle - and passed down through the female generations since)
