Introduction

It is important to collect memories from our family members so that they can be passed on and remembered through the generations.  I want my grandchildren to know about my grandparents and how life was lived in the 20th century.  I don't know much about my own grandparents so I'm going to try and collect as much information about them as I can, as well as memories my mother has of her childhood.  I will start to build up memories of my own childhood and what life was like growing up in the 50s and 60s.  Any snippet, no matter how small, will be collected here, along with archive photographs.   I hope all the family will contribute to this valuable collection of memories so that our lives live on through our children, grandchildren and future generations.  Hilary Booth
