The Wartime Farm

[Florence Fennel]

I've recorded it, so may watch it later this afternoon. I am tempted to wait and watch it with my youngest granddaughter who is really interested. Thanks for the link to the booklet VC.

I watched it, thought it was really interesting. How many programmes show us what war was like for the people at home? I have all the stories my gran told me, but it seems more real when you actually see it lived.

Funnily enough when I was first living in rented accomodation, we had one of those kitchenette things, except it was brown and white - I used to hate it!!


But I definately I want one of those blue stripey tea cosys!!

...and the best bit for me was that Peter looked yummy and rugged , and not all hairy and dishevelled ...shame his 'mole' thing didn't work though

PB, I'm not sure whether to say this as I don't want to upset you but I thought Peter had a bit of a thin spot on his hairy head. Perhaps anyone watching the recording could look out for it and tell us what they think!

*rolls eyes*

Yes, I spotted that too VC, but you know what they say about bald men ...and MrPB is on the thinning side (bless him), so it's not a shock Anyhoo, Peter is way taller than me, so I'd never see his thin bit
The scarier thing for me is that he is younger than me...I'm such a cradlesnatcher!!

[veggiechicken]

Phew, That's a relief, PB. I thought you might have thrown a wobbly at the thought of a balding pate on Pete
Don't forget, we're all about the same height lying down

[Pumpkin Becki]

Lol! I like your style VC!!

[veggiechicken]

When you're knee high to a grasshopper, thoughts like that keep everything in perspective

Spoke to a friend of mine today who can remember the begining of the war, he reckons foreign fruits where around for a short time.

I don't know which one of the blokes is Peter, can only id Ruth (who is quite strange in a totally eccentric way ) and have never know which of the blokes is which but can't say either of them do it for me. As for the mole, as they were making it I said to OH that the section sizes weren't meaty enough and it was clearly far too flimsy so have my suspicions that a lot of that was for the benefit of the camera....

Watched the program last night. And we complain about our allotments!!!Wow what hard work. Can you imagine trying to grow food on that scale knowing it could mean the difference to surviving or starving, would definately not want that responsibility. What really strong people our farming parents/Grandparents were. Respect.
