Great photo Dave! I remember my old Nan wearing a "pinnie" similar to the one in the pic!

My Mam always wore pinnies, too. A lot of the ladies of Sarah's day were called by both their Christian names, eg Sarah Jane instead of just Sarah. I remember an old lady who lived near us was always "Maggie-Jane", and a shop-owner nearby was "Martha-Ellen", and my Dad used to talk of a relative who he always referred to as "Our Sarah-Alice".

Irene - I still, today, refer to family as 'our'.
