History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days. ~Winston Churchill

Mothering Sunday

Happy mother's day to those of you in the UK!

Absolutely adorable photographs of mothers and their children. These are unfortunately without captions ("LIFE mystery photographs"), but certainly cross the decades and countries. So lovely.
