This kind of time period is what I live for- pictures and films. The only thing I can think of is what would happen now if people didn't fulfill their obligations. In order to survive the conflict, I would prefer to relocate to London, UK. As a Black woman, I am an American. It would be my dream to relocate to London, UK...xoxo🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Back in the 80s, I had opportunity to visit with a woman who worked at a powdered egg factory in Chicago during WWII. I had no idea how fast-paced production was, until i saw the clip in this video. Wow!

Maybe it's because we grow tomatoes outside in the States, but picking them is hardly an onerous chore. I live the scent of tomato vines, and it is a joy to oluck the fruit and put it in my basket

I grew up as a baby with blackouts. I had a little light on the top of a chest of drawers to go to sleep with. How I hated cod liver oil. Also boiled brains. Sitting in my high chair. I was lucky . My dad was such fun. I still remember all those lovely old songs

Today, I can't understand how people had time to stand for two hours steaming a pudding. What a waste of gas ! The microwave can steam a pudding in two MINUTES ! 😮 Our electric pressure cookers also are far safer and efficient to older cooking methods. Frankly, I don't think people of the past really did cope as well as they made out. Nothing new there !

War was not only devastating to human life but also the ecosystem, fish, wildlife, and plantlife were also affected by war! It sometimes takes many, many years for nature to reverse the effects of war. I'm so thankful to all who served during this time. It has afforded me all the Freedoms that I have today! Many blessings from the hills of Tennessee, USA 🇺🇲

Across the pond we make hog's head cheese. Hog brains are scrambled with eggs for breakfast with sausage, gravy and biscuits. This isn't war time food. An alternative is to use potted meat with the eggs. What do you think potted meat is? And she's so right about chitlins.

I really got interested in the 1940's and the war years a few years ago. How I wish my mother and grandmother were still around so I could talk to them about their experiences. My grandmother lived thru both world wars and my mother was born in 1923 so she experienced it as a young girl. My grandmother did alot of canning in the 1960's so I wonder now if this was a holdover from the war or because she lived in the country and it was a few miles to the nearest grocery store and she didnt drive anymore.

I remember when this came out it was quaint. Now life has come full circle soon the only way to feed our family is to turn our gardens onto vegetable beds. I met Ruth Mott when i was a kid my grandmother was freinds with her and by a bizzare turn of evens my other grandad knew Harry though i never met him

@@londongirl1733 thanks x she was a lovely lady. At first glance she looked very stern. But she loved a chat over a cup of tea. So nice. And in one of the episodes you see Harry stringing onions. My grandad did it the same way he learned from Harry when they were both pretty young and later grandad got an allotment to keep him busy after the effects of trauma from the war. Harry apparently came to help him get it started

@@juststoppingby390 Oh how kind of you to share your Grandads story. They were a wonderful giving generation who were tough and worked extremely hard for all they had. I remember people like them when I grew up. I was born in the mid 60’s so there were many of the generation that had taught Harry and Ruth their trade still with us. All those I knew were very elderly but so kind and thoughtful to others. They were the keepers of old traditions and readily shared this knowledge with others. The world is becoming very selfish so I find myself often reaching out to times when society was less frayed. How wonderful that you met Ruth and to know that Harry helped your grandfather build his garden. Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment in time :) I love Ruth as I was a chef for decades and always thought how hard it must have been doing everything by hand.

SELF DISCIPLINE I wasn't a war child, but my Gran, who raised me, was born in 1900, so I had to have a big spoonful of Cod Liver oil every Sunday night. Yes folks it was absolutely REVOLTING and I didn't know of any other kids who were forced to have it. BUT, it taught me to swallow medicine because it was good for me. I was also taken on long, long walks, taught to dig in heavy soil and a thousand other things that were done because IT WAS good for me. Self discipline in other words, doing what needs to be done whether one enjoys it or not! No complaints here, just gratitude for the care and guidance.

🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐I did my best planting elderberry is this year I only had access to just a few trees and a Washington state USA I found enough before I planted around 15,000. I found something special also it’s called a highbush cranberry I only seen one. I put the seeds through erotic acid for about an hour to duplicate the digestive system of an animal, the neutralize it with baking soda and water, then water so I could start absorbing into the seed because I had a wax coating on it. I try to find what’s left and I tried to duplicate it , I’m afraid for this country one slight problem there is no food

I detassled seed corn one summer. They plant six rows of male corn then twelve rows of the "female" seed corn. Went through and cut the tassels off with a mower that cut the "female" corn off at 5' removing most if not all the tassle. Then we went through pulling any remaining tassle out to prevent any pollen from the "female" rows of corn so that cross pollination would take place producing hybrid seed corn.
