A snapshot like this really does give an insight into the life and times of the period - something that looking at an ld church can never do for example. Thanks for taking the time to post such interesting stuff Neville - it's greatly appreciated and not just by me Best Rod Neville,

But an offspring who has a larger number of members, as one who has six fingers, or if he has but four, or only one, will be included among children."</i> Amazing that a child prodigy was regarded as a perverse product! Neville Rod,

In the 13th. century natural physical anomalies were accepted as can be seen in this extract from Judge Henry of Bratton’s
‘De Legibus Et Consuetudinibus Angliæ’ describing who may and may not be called children:

“Those born of unlawful intercourse, as out of adultery and the like, are not reckoned among children, nor those procreated perversely, against the way of human kind, as where a woman brings forth a monster or a prodigy. But an offspring who has a larger number of members, as one who has six fingers, or if he has but four, or only one, will be included among children.”

Amazing that a child prodigy was regarded as a perverse product!

I'm more worried about Cougars than I am Panthers :) Cheers Rod Annie,

Be careful or the Gray Panthers will be on you. Agedly yours, Annie Rod,

Picking up on your double standards, people do have a warped sense of what is acceptable or not. A woman once told me it upset here when everybody said she was too skinny - those same people wouldn't have called her fat if she'd been overweight ! Best Rod LB

Just been catching up on your posts and photos - excellent reading. And that snow ! - 41C here today, so I'd appreciate a small package, if you don't mind. A busy ..few weeks at the coastal retreat, culling crayfish and abalone, and hurrying their departure with a disgraceful number of chilled and slightly spritzig Coonawarra reislings. Agree with your sentiments about disabilities - how often do we see the same double standard applied to those on the other side of the political fence to the msm.. Even (or should we be not surprised?) the POTUS, Barack Obama, has his laugh at the Special Olympics. Back to the reading and the snow, Donald Hi Rod,

Happy New Year !

Just been catching up on your posts and photos - excellent reading. And that snow ! - 41C here today, so I’d appreciate a small package, if you don’t mind.

A busy ..few weeks at the coastal retreat, culling crayfish and abalone, and hurrying their departure with a disgraceful number of chilled and slightly spritzig Coonawarra reislings.

Agree with your sentiments about disabilities - how often do we see the same double standard applied to those on the other side of the political fence to the msm.. Even (or should we be not surprised?) the POTUS, Barack Obama, has his laugh at the Special Olympics.

Back to the reading and the snow,

Donald
