It would be a quick swat and straight back home for them - and they knew it, so they didn't do it.<br />I honestly don't think their parents really care whether or not their little darling is a pain to others, as long as they aren't giving them the irrits. They were probably in the museum cafe having a peaceful latte while the brats terrorised the patrons.<br />I had a coat very similar to the one you are wearing, except the collar of it as brown. It may have been velvet, but I cannot be sure. I think it was given to my mum by an English friend of hers. If only we'd kept it, it could be gracing one of my granddaughters by now! :)<br />BTW, I enjoy your rant as it makes us all feel a little better that we are not alone.<br />CheersRobyn of Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830917656529638295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-86585624664845448362013-02-21T05:50:57.094+00:002013-02-21T05:50:57.094+00:00Sweet little carriage, and adorable photo of you a...Sweet little carriage, and adorable photo of you and your brother!!

Perhaps a visit mid-week in term time would be better? <br />I do like the changes in museums, the city museum here in Sheffield has been refurbished brilliantly - all the same stuff, just displayed more imaginatively and yes, lots of interaction. <br />The photo of you and your brother in the pram is brilliant! I had just the same style of knitted bonnet when I was a baby! xxxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773931325239238333.post-53245996442396171852013-02-20T18:45:56.070+00:002013-02-20T18:45:56.070+00:00I'm with you on children's unruly behaviou...I'm with you on children's unruly behaviour in museums and also libraries. Many people think that children have to have noise and bright buttons to press in order to learn. Bring back the peace and quiet in these places - I'm sure it would open up the doors to more thoughtful listening and learning especially if parents stay around to explore with the children and not leave them to be occupied with someone or something else.

That pram was kept for years after we were too big for it and used to transport any number of things, coal, a "Guy" my brother made to wheel round the houses asking for a "penny for the guy" and even at one point when my mam decided to move from one street, to the next street because it was a better house, we moved the whole contents of the house using that pram!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13069341346858567528noreply@blogger.com
