Softened a little,
Building in background may well be the ground floor of a hop drying oast and the family groups show a hint of being carefree, lovable itinerate folk.
Perhaps the card in the lady's top records a tally of how many bags of hops the family picked before lunch.
(Beaut color work there Mr Freeman).

Anybody have any idea what they are eating. The bowl on the floor seems to have a head in it, you can see an eye, an ear and a nose, but surly it can't be.

Hi ,

Thank you all so much for your wonderful restore/tidy ups, they are so lovely,

I'm still no closer to finding out who they are but I'm sure they must be related some how....i suppose thats half the fun of researching your family tree ;)

Thanks again,

Chris
