Dearest Dimples: letters from a saucy sailor | Socks for the Boys!
https://norahsdiaries.wordpress.com/2014/03/15/dearest-dimples
Socks for the Boys! My Great Aunt Norah's wartime diaries, 1938-1948. Dearest Dimples: letters from a saucy sailor. He imagines (wrongly) her hair colour in his cheeky signing off:. Jim to Norah, 23rd March 1941. Jim Smilin Thro ’. Norah must put him right, as in his next letter he apologises for ‘the blonde and brunette affair’, adding that ‘being candid, the brunette is preferred.’. With one of these early letters, Jim encloses a ‘lovely handkerchief with Royal Navy on it’. This is indeed a beautif...

Me | Socks for the Boys!

Socks for the Boys! My Great Aunt Norah's wartime diaries, 1938-1948. Me, Norah (right), my mum and my two daughters, Mothering Sunday 2006 at Elvaston Castle. Yes, I know it is a cheesy photo, but I have very few of me with my aunt Norah (lots of her with the girls, that I’ve taken, but few that I am in…) We don’t normally walk round holding hands in our family – this was on daughterly insistence. I knew when I received the diaries that I wanted to learn to write about them in a ‘different’ ...I came ac...

I’m in love with him & I don’t care a scrap | Socks for the Boys!
https://norahsdiaries.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/im-in-love-with-him-i-dont-care-a-scrap
Socks for the Boys! My Great Aunt Norah's wartime diaries, 1938-1948. I’m in love with him and I don’t care a scrap. 19th September 1941: Went to Derby and bought blue dress material and fed swans in river gardens. I’m in love with him and I don’t care a scrap. I can’t help but imagine this scene. Had Norah decided to make a journey to Derby to buy her blue dress material before reading Danny’s sweet letter? Why should she care a scrap? Or is the not caring a bid to suppress a sense of guilt about Jim, ‘...

Instances of a changed society. The post war council estate in time. Sunday, 17 August 2014. Summer on the estate - a daytime Moon. It was not so much the information this book gave me, even though it taught me for life the names and positions of the stars and constellations at any given time in the year, it was the illustrations by my favourite Ladybird Book artist, Robert Ayton. A world that now dissembles and flatters to deceive in an increasingly meaningless manner. I look back at this once new and p...

Instances of a changed society. The post war council estate in time. Monday, 29 June 2015. Music from my childhood #3. I hear this beautiful song and I'm seven again, stood in the middle of the cornfield in the hot morning sunshine, looking back at my house and thinking it was a long way. Away In the depths of rural LIncolnshire, I had no idea where or what Monterey was back then. Handclaps on pop records are always a good thing to my mind. Monday, June 29, 2015. Saturday, 20 June 2015. Gorgeous, heady f...
