Now, I was trying to remember this.
I don't know that I actually did, but my little girl, Petrova, whose birthday it is today, actually, she's seven.
Happy birthday.
And she plays it with her toys and go round and round in the circle and fall down.
I'm a senior lecturer in illustration in Cardiff School of Art and Design, which is in Wales in the U.K.,
I've been doing it for a very long time.
So I've been teaching since my sort of mid twenties, but my fascination is always about how illustration actually really impacts on people and how we understand ourselves within society, but often in a way that nobody really notices, which is why this is actually quite an interesting thing.
And my interest is also in childhood.
Okay, of course they can.
So ring a ring of roses, a pocket full of poses, a tissue, a tissue, we all fall down.
And that's the kind of the small version that most people use and they don't normally go on after that.
It's that and then you will fall down and then you might go around and do that again.
And sometimes it's sung and sometimes it's said, like with a lot of nursery rhymes, they can be both.
That's what you can still hear in playgrounds today.
Well, lots of people, lots of people want to believe that it is.
It was a story, a nursery tale, a nursery rhyme that people would sing and remake and rework.
And no, it wasn't originally ever about the plague.
And that myth kind of evolved after the Second World War.
In a time when people were trying to, I suppose, add meaning to things or make sense of stuff that had happened to them, potentially a bit like we did after the pandemic, the recent pandemic.
And when the world gets tumbled up like that, often we go back to fairy tales and folk tales and nursery rhymes as a way of understanding who we are and of placing ourselves in the present, in the past.
