Jambusters
“Edith Jones was one such woman. She described her village in the early part of the twentieth century:Life in the truly rural areas could be rather humdrum before the motor transport came into its own. Some of us lived 10–12 miles from the market town and 3–5 miles from the nearest railway station depending on where our houses were situated. We were in a scattered area, mostly farmers and connected with farm work and the women had a full time job in the home for there was no electricity nor pipe...d water or any other modern convenience and everything was ‘made at home’. We seemed to have little time or cause to visit our next village unless it was for a fresh sitting of eggs in the spring or a jar or two of honey in the autumn ready for winter colds. The menfolk generally managed the cattle auctions, touching each other for a lift in the farmers’ gigs but if the farmer’s wife went too they knew they’d have to be sober to touch a ride back.Edith married John Cecil (Jack) Jones on 10 July 1914, less than a month before the outbreak of the First World War.MoreLess

What would be awesome is if I could actually read the book. But every single time I go to read it I'm ask to sign in, though I am already sighed in. Oh yeah I'm also asked to sign up for something else I have no use for. What a useless website.Write Review:
