Why is it that “The Locomotion” always springs to mind when I think of Eva, Mrs jb’s great-niece?
Big day yesterday with 4 generations gathering for the christening in the church in Elsig.
Not that she noticed, of course.
Slept all the way through it.
Not a murmur, even when she got doused 3 times…
Note: The mural paintings date back to the 14th century and were discovered under multiple coats of paint in the 1950s and restored with vary degrees of skill (Hammer, chisel, oil-based paint….?).
Later restorations were performed with somewhat less brute force
