Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre – Wartime Weekend 2016
It’s a shame that our caravan is too new (or old, but not old enough!), I will need to look for ways of camouflaging it a bit better, but there were a lot of visitors and we really enjoyed ourselves.
We had a lot of people stop and try our national loaf and other goodies.
Children were shocked at how little sweets a ration gave them!
We were also told some lovely stories of people remembering what rationing was like for them. Quite a few were fortunate, as living in the country, rationing does not seem to have been as hard, as it was padded out with catching game, keeping chickens, growing veggies etc.. There were also quite a few tales of neighbours helping each other out and doing “swaps” for rations that weren’t wanted or required.
