Britain declares war on Germany 3 Sep 1939
Britain, France, Australia, New Zealand and India declare war on Germany. Neville Chamberlain's speech is here:
So our project now starts in earnest. From now till the end of the 'war', there will be no technology for Ted, Bill and Maggie, apart from updating the blog and watching "The 1940's House" to see how we compare to them. Clothing is reduced to 3 outfits plus 'Sunday Best'. I did consider removing all Lego from the house as it hadn't been invented in 1939, but I would have needed a truck!
Maggie and I are crocheting old-fashioned dishcloths from some cotton from Nana. The war will probably be over by the time she finishes hers! The boys will be helping clear the weeds from the allotment.
