What do you do in your free time? Do you get any spare time? These days, it seems that everyone is so busy they rarely have time to sit down for five minutes. Retirement isn't at all what I'd thought it would be. Do this, so that, go here, go there... Please, join me this Sunday for a chat.

Hi, I hope you're keeping well. It's mild here, 15C which is 59F. I've bought some coal for our open fire and sorted out the kindling wood, so we're ready to go. Are you ready for Halloween? We have a tub of sweets by the front door ready for the children should they pop round. Happy days!

In days gone by, fish and chips were wrapped in newspaper, perfume was called scent, school kids got the cane, beer was 16 pence for a pint in my local pub... And, a few extracts from a little book written in 1878 about bringing up children. Please, join me this Sunday for a look back at the old days.

Housewives 1950s 1960s. Were they slaves?

2024/10/20

Housewives back in the old days were often no more than slaves chained to the kitchen sink! According to a book I've been reading, the man was the master of the house and his authority shouldn't be questioned! Crikey! Please, join me this Sunday.

This week, I’m looking inside British houses. Where is the bathroom situated? Is the kitchen at the back or the front of the house? Where is the lounge, the dining room, the bedrooms… I’ll also be talking about my Isle of Wight trip. Please, join me this Sunday.

What did children do back in the 50s and 60s? Back then, it was a totally different world! I doubt that youngsters of today would be able to grasp the idea of life back then.

Autumn was lovely for kids back in the old days. They'd don their wellies and help dad in the garden. Sweeping up leave, poking the bonfire with a stick, baking potatoes in the embers... Happy days!

The good old British weather affects more than people's picnics and BBQs. Many businesses rely on decent weather, especially at weekends. In this episode, amongst other stuff, I have a good old chinwag about the weather.
