Elspeth - Oh, I want this, too!! Wow! Admittedly, my family is not English, and never lived in London. But the '30s were the worlds of both of my parents, and what a world it was! I want that DVD, too. Now. Thank you for sharing this with us. You know, I can't wait to read your novel....
Even though I know it was in between the wars, and there was grinding poverty and life was so hard for so many people, there is still a huge part of me that longs for the time of the clips and videos that you show.
Reminds me so much of my mother's photo albums. Only by chance/luck did I end up in the US; when her family left Europe, half went to England, the other half to the US.

Terry's Place
Romance with a Twist--of Mystery
You keep writing 'em, and I'll keep reading 'em :-)
ReplyDeleteTerry; How interesting that the family didn't all go to the same place - was it not possible given the immigration statuses at the time?
ReplyDeleteSarah; :))))))
Fascinating. And your book will undoubtedly be fascinating, as well!
ReplyDeleteLove coming here. I never know what I'll find but it's always thought provoking. Your book is really going to be something special.
