Welcome to my blog as I celebrate the life and times of those living on the Home Front during WW2. I'm by no means an expert but just a very enthuisastic lover of reading and learning about this fascinating period of time. I'm not sure where my interest in the period 1939 - 1945 began but I have become keen on learning more about it more recently. I was lucky enough to recieve these wonderful books for Christmas .
I'm also expecting another in the post soon so will share that with you when it arrives.
Whilst the war was being fought overseas 90% of the population were civilians doing their bit for the war effort to a tremendous degree whilst still carrying on with daily life where they could; I have so much admiration for them and also believe we can learn an enormous amount from the things they did to keep the home fires burning. This is my way of remembering all they did and maybe others will find it interesting or even contribute to my ramblings.
I think most people have heard of the terms Make Do And Mend, Dig For Victory along with the spirit of The Blitz but there is so much more to it than that. I hope you'll enjoy me sharing these and so many amazing things that the people of Britain did so that we could be a free nation.
So, I'll be back soon and will be adding more to the content of the blog as I go along. I look forward to anybody commenting on my ramblings! In my next post I hope to share a little about the early preparations which were made even before war was declared.
Bye for now, Lou.
