Content warning - description of death by drowning and the look of the ghost of a drowned person In this episode we get to know a twin brother and sister. As the Blue Peter flies for the elder twin sister she describes her husband, and her twin brother in their youth to her grandchildren. She tries to give guidance to all the young girls listening, but the eldest especially. Do you like reading a history book that then references an older history? I do! It gives us even greater hands on representation of things which happened nearly 200 years ago!
