S3E12: Meals I Have Eaten by One Who Has Suffered Artwork

100 Years of Cox

I am telling the story of ten siblings from the Machell Cox family, through the letters they wrote to each other. They were born in England between 1868 and 1884; seven of them lived in England and three lived abroad, in the Colonies. One of the siblings was my great grandfather.

Frances gives an update on where the siblings are in 1921, details confirmed by the 1921 Census. Seven siblings have been located on the census, an eighth, Aldwyn, is in London but has not yet been found. (Neville and Wilfred were abroad.)

Frances reads the final items from the 1909 Christmas Budget:
A Country Ramble, by a Perambulating Pedagogue - written by Cuthbert, based on Dr Cox's new book, Rambles in Surrey

Meals I Have Eaten by One Who has Suffered - a firsthand account describing terrible food and cooking in British Columbia - written by Wilfred

A penny for your thoughts - a poem describing the ten siblings, written by Bernard

Poker Patience - a competition devised by Neville

A double acrostic - written by Cuthbert
