Winter Chores

Loading the cart with all the leaves. The reward is to help out with the bonfire. To get picked for a task like this, you had to have done something wrong, at least it was better than a punishment of the slipper or the cane.

Often if you had gone out in the morning in such clothes, you would not get the chance to change out of them if it was just for lunch and you were going straight out afterwards, as long as you were not bringing mud indoors, no time was wasted in changing.

 

In a way one of the best designs of winter play clothes you could have.
