1825 LIVERPOOL Sundry Information ~ No.2

 

I had intended to continue my walks today, but unfortunately my clogs have chafed my ankles and I can hardly walk. I have decided to sit in front of the range in our kitchen with my feet immersed in a bath of hot water and mustard. Another reason for me staying in doors is the weather. Yesterday was clear and frosty, and my walks, though tiring, were most exhilarating ~ today, a thick frozen, acrid smelling fog has descended on the town, choking the lungs of the poor unfortunates who have to venture forth to work. I for my part will carry on with the list of Public Buildings, and hopefully be able to continue with my perambulations tomorrow.

That will do for today, but next time the weather keeps me confined to the house, I will carry on with this list. Anyway, I've just had a peek into the black pot hanging above the fire on the range, as tantalizing aromas were emanating from it. Ah! rabbit stew with whole onions, potatoes and parsnips........the list must wait!
