Hi Dear Folk,
I do like the film Carrie's War and it is available to view on YouTube which is great. I watched it on one of those snowy days that we had.
It's about Carrie and her brother who get evacuated from London during WWII to a small town in Wales. I used to have this on VHS with this box cover. I guess they all went when the VHS went.
I do remember many a tent camping holiday in Northern Wales where I think it rained most of the time and the best fare in the bakeries seemed to be Bara Brith which means mottled bread and is a sweet yeast bread with mixed fruit in.
My mum usually baked a nice fruit cake to take with us, with marzipan and icing, the whole works, but the previous year we had been to Yorkshire and there was a plentiful array of baked goods in the bakeries that we hardly touched the fruit cake. Next year mum said I won't bake one and in Wales there didn't seem to be as much in the bakeries, of course I'm talking about back in the sixties and we kept saying wish mum had baked the fruit cake.
Yes I can still see us clambering down the steps at Swallow Falls in the pouring rain.
Back to Carrie's War or rather the hat she wore in the film, isn't that a lovely hat?
