To get us started on our new 'Victorians' theme, we spent this afternoon at the Museum of Nottingham Life at Brewhouse Yard, where the very formal and Victorian-like Mrs Crowfoot talked to the children about life in Victorian times and allowed them to help with grating the soap and ponching the clothes in the dolly tub.
Unfortunately the mangle was considered too much of a health and safety risk, and they didn't get around to washing my white blouse which I had clumsily spilt tomato juice down whilst trying to fit lunch in on our mad dash across from Brazilian Soccer School!
But I did like the idea of Madi learning to iron ;o)
