Those of us who remember how things were 50 years or more ago should take the time to make their memories available to younger people. A world without the internet, without on screen games and where direct face to face conversation substituted for texts, emails and so called social media - was it better? Was it worse? Whichever, it was certainly different. PLEASE do add comments - thank you. Search this blog using the search box at the bottom or choose a topic from the labels on the right.

Five to Ten
Five to Ten used to be on the Home service (which later changed to being radio 4) every weekday morning at the time its name suggests. It was introduced by a short piece of classical music which I can remember but, cannot, at this moment put a composer to. What was the programme? Trying to encourage good, I think; the following was never (as far as I am aware) on five to ten but it gives a flavour of what you might have heard: "Mary had a little rag doll - she loved that doll dearly and it seldom left her side. One day, Mary heard of the poor little children in (pick a country of your choice) who had no toys at all because they had had to leave their country because of war. So Mary sent her rag doll to the refugees. Now a prayer to thank our Lord for the generosity instilled in some humans"
