She had to climb two flights of stairs to reach my bedroom at the top of the house below the attic.<br />Later I was given a stone water bottle, very large & heavy, but I was strong enough to carry it myself in both arms then. I wish I still had that warming pan!<br />We lived for over 20 years here in Australia without any power,tap water, inside toilet or bathroom. We could have done with that warming pan then.<br />Good post, thank you.<br />Regards, Keith.<br />http://woodsrunnersdiary.blogspot.com.au/Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12562001301604097606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386077972421065740.post-61809619477106066802011-02-20T19:05:46.774-05:002011-02-20T19:05:46.774-05:00And in 1688 a lowly bedpan became a part of histor...And in 1688 a lowly bedpan became a part of history when it was alleged that James II's wife had a stillborn child and a live baby was smuggled in the palace inside a bedpan as a substitute.Kelly S.
