Stories about the Blacksmiths.


Soothing Chilblains

Picture
Brenton and Will interviewing Mrs Devereux.
Mrs Devereux (Brenton's Gran) used to  get chilblains from the Bungaree's cold weather. Chilblains are itchy ulcers people get when they are very cold. She used to warm her hands in the blacksmith water.
