An Andrew Production
‘Down Memory Lane’
Snapshots from events held on Fridays in August, September and
October 2011 in the Green Lounge at Thalia House, Bexhill
Organised by AmicusHorizon, the events explored how things used
to be:- the war, rationing, making do, wartime recipes, and
the contrast with how we live today
The conversation turns tohome comforts and mod cons...
Conversationsabout wartime:-
After the baked apples, Stellagets people to write down
about food and eating out in theold days, while Joyce has broughtsome copies of newspapers from
1953 featuring the coronationof the Queen
The talk returnsto food, and how to
make do with leftoversor cheaper alternatives
There was talk aboutbeing self sufficient in the
old days
How thelocal area and its
shops have changed!
It’s nearing the end,and a time to do some
more records of the daysin summer and autumn 2011
Events run down toan end as a driver
