Release date June 1940.


Context for June '40: Dunkirk evacuation just finished. Channel Islands bombed and invaded. Paris occupied.


Interesting that this escapist propaganda (the English village as *God's gift*, "learning and loveliness" = England) still holds appeal.

shorty don't know if it's of interest ,but on James Barbers thread there's a note of ?4500 being allocated for something called the historic photos fund

East Dulwich councillor - how can I help?


"Posted by James Barber Yesterday, 01:00PM


Eaery year local ward councillors get to decide how to spend some devolved Cleaner, Greener, Safer budget. The scheme started when Lib Dems first led the council in 2002 with only one year when it didn?t operate when the Labour administration wanted to use the money on pet Olympic projects. "

    • We have found 3 stag beetles in the old tree stump, and single nesting bees in the grass, so we're still not mowing it. I have taken the seeds head off the dart grass and trimmed the dead bluebells and it's alright.  
    • Back garden mowed on Monday, some of it for the first time this year.  Not a lot of interest in this grassland, but hoping for the promised rain this week as it needs it.  We use no tap water in the garden apart from conditioner tap water for the pond when rainwater storage runs out, very early this year. Purple clover, buttercups, rattle and ox eye daisies looking great in the front.  Seeds sown did not germinate due to lack of spring rain.  The meadow will be cut by hand when flowers die back, white clover will be out shortly and cutting the rest back may encourage the purple clover to flower again.  Loads of bees  Fun time is when the grasshoppers appear.  
    • Just found a link for LB Southwark wildlife and ecology. Suggest all those listing in disgust to read some of this.  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/culture-and-sport/parks-and-open-spaces/ecology-and-wildlife
