Off to Bed, 1958
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: NIGHTCLOTHES (PAJAMAS, NIGHTGOWNS, ROBES, ETC.)
My brother Nicholas and myself heading to the freezing upper domains of the second floor in our new house. Hot water bottles have preceded us - the only warmth we could look forward to after leaving the living room fire. Even new houses like ours did not have central heating. We did not know anyone who had it - and when we moved to the States six years later, the warmth of our apartment and of all the homes we visited seemed miraculous and wonderful.
So, our nightclothes were warm. Fleece lined pajamas and dressing gowns made by my mother. My dressing gown was a deep maroon and I loved the bunny she appliquéd on the front. My brother's was yellow and fuzzier.
I'm 4 years old, almost 5, and he's 3.

We did miss our fireplace once we moved, though, despite our greater warmth.
Now I have a woodstove - as well as other heating.
There's nothing quite like a fire!
