Footnote
'George and I loved going to Grandpa's at Blackpool for Christmas, and we loved it to snow, all the fields and little woods near to Grandpa's Farm looked like fairyland "but", said Mother "the birds don't like all this snow, it's very difficult for them to find their food", so we collected all the crumbs we could and every afternoon we set off with Miss Carter (who wore Pink) and Mr Taylor (The Bank Manager) and all the Birds were waiting for us and the year was 1906' (to label to reverse).
