1 I had occasion to wear my Suffragette scarf today to honour an old friend. When I wear it, it’s also in honour of my Great Granny.

2 I mentioned last week the Suffragette garden I’m planting. Here is the purple clematis, The President, which has only one flower at the moment. Purple was chosen by the Suffagette Movement to represent dignity.

3 We have the white and the green in the Japanese Anenome, particularly beautiful this evening in the dusky light. White stood for purity and green for hope.

Suffragette scarf? You have to tell more!!! There’s a whole story in that throwaway comment! If your Great Grandmother was so, I’d love to see her & a bit about her as a “Beautiful thing” of the day. That would be enormously interesting…

I’m researching this Great Granny about whom we don’t know much other than she was imprisoned for her activities and was force fed. I will probably take up your suggestion in time. Thank you for making it 🙂

I am lucky to have such family history. This Great Granny is on my Father’s side of the family. 🙂

Yes, the Great Granny on my Father’s side. We know little about her unfortunately but I have been doing some research.
Thank you for liking my photos! 🙂
