Joan’s Lockdown BWG Ladies I have decided to take up Liz Dobson's suggestion in her latest email and write of all the things I have been doing since the latest lockdown at the end of March. On 5th April, I was due at the British Club for Monday Mahjong and on the Tuesday I was booked at Panipa to be pampered neither of which took place! My hair is so long now that I have to hold it back with a hairband! I am not too downhearted as I have been very busy besides doing the squares for Sister Louise. In 2016 my niece asked me to write of our family history before her father was born as he is ten years younger than me. I did so but on reviewing it, and at the same time, my eldest grandson in England asked me for information of my life. So that is one thing I have been doing. I was born in Kent in 1934 so have been all through the war, remembering the skies in the far distance lit up from the fires burning in London as a result of the bombs dropped from German bombers flying overhead. I have been through rationing and came out unscathed, in fact we were all perfectly healthy, the only thing was the awful dried egg as we were only allowed about one fresh egg a week! The document has grown as my memories have been stimulated by other members of my family and it also has photographs included. It will eventually be bound into a book for the future generations in England, Australia and Thailand.
