As winter turns to spring, the trees begin to blossom, and the bustle of young life chirps and rattles in the hedgerows. After a long cold winter wearing three, sometimes four petticoats beneath their dresses as well as thick itchy woolen stockings, both Billy and Alice are glad to lose a few layers as the weather dictates. Charitable bundles of clothing are donated to the evacuees and both Billy and Alice have a small selection of new dresses to wear. Having spent some six months wearing the same three frocks in steady rotation, Billy feels somewhat overwhelmed now that he has a choice of play and day dresses. It’s also nice to wear something other than his pink ‘day’ dress for school.
