Far better they get it now @wild edges. It's seriously unfunny as an adult. I had it at the age of 41, courtesy of the children, both under five at the time. Many of my eyelashes never came back, and that was the least of the problems. The health visitor informed me that an older chap had just died from it and was horrified at the casual dismissal I'd had from a doctor at A&E. I had searing pain all down my face and he said it was my teeth. She advised older daughter had her pre school jags [that's why I was seeing her] in two bouts, rather than all at once, as the virus would still be present.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Totally agree with @Fairygirl … I had it as an adult and was really ill … I also had mumps as an adult … I was sooo ill I had three home visits from the GP … an otherwise fit chap in a nearby village died of it that summer.

I had mumps as a child and I still remember being in bed with it. Funny how your mind works eh? I also know someone who had it as an adult. Not funny. All these diseases can be hideous as an adult. Fortunately, we have vaccines, which many of the recent clowns [Covid] seem to forget are preventing us from serious illnesses or death. Perhaps they should all be made to read the info....

I thought I’d do a bit of cross stitch as a change from knitting and ordered myself a kit to make a pretty needle case … I’m sure the holes in the canvas are smaller than they used to be and the wool finer … and whoever thought of a design with cream wool on a cream fabric … anyone got any magnifying glasses they don’t need ?!?!?! 🤓😵💫😖
My mother had a bed cover made by her ancestors, started in 1818 and finished in 1881. Apparently they spun the yarn themselves, wove the basic cover and then embroidered the entire thing in white. Cream on cream should be a piece of cake by comparison.
I only saw it a couple of times as it was passed to a cousin who was supposedly keeping all the family items together. Unfortunately, when the cousin died there was no sign of it. A bit of detective work discovered she had given it to a local museum without reference to the rest of the family. I wouldn't have minded so much if the museum hadn't now closed down.
Is there any way of tracking down folk who were involved with the museum @KT53 ?... there ought to be records in the county archives if it was run properly ... and then you could trace what had happened to the things in the museum ... in most cases they're passed to another museum.

@wild edges Aren't the pox "over" once they erupt on the skin? Just that they are so contagious when they are seepy!!
