Let your clients enjoy revisiting their family life in the 1940s..
I tell the tales of my maternal grandparents in WW2.
I tell as if I was my grandfather. I talk about what life was like on a daily basis, dealing with rationing, work, air raids, blackouts, the evacuation of children, sons joining the forces, experiencing D Day and VE Day.
Exploring what they did and how they felt.
I have lots of show and tell items. Original newspapers, identity cards, ration books, food containers, government pamphlets and the like.
Enjoy a sing along with a couple of wartime songs.
Hear extracts of famous speeches of the time.
The show lasts around an hour. I wear a 1940s suit.
I have addressed other care homes, ARAs, U3As, Rotary, Probus and WIs.
