Who Is She Talking About?

KSV Woolfoot = Your Hostess. W[oolfoot]Husband = One Guess. I should have a better name for him. Chin Wagger? Finger Wagger (perhaps Finger Sharpener)? Not very nice but too true. Oh dear. The Infanta de Upstairs = Our daughter. F/k/a "the understudy" cause when she was young and stupid she liked the same things I did. In some ancient posts you will find her referred to as "Kid 1". Shackelton = Our Son. His mind is a non-stop adventure.

Are you looking for Gladys Peto?

Many of my best blogosphere experiences have resulted from my relatively early internet postings on the artist and writer Gladys Peto. Google has made it possible for her admirers to find one another and sometimes they still wind up here, though Jeanette Payne now has the definitive blog . (See the link to her Gladys Peto blog above). Still, since you are here, have a look at some of my favorite Peto images.
