Time travelling

Apparently time is a loop in space that twists and turns and crosses over itself. Sometimes, when it does this a door opens to another time. 

This theory was used in "Quantum Leap", "Goodnight Sweetheart", "The Lake House" and my all time favourite "Somwhere in Time".

The "Time Machine" by H G Wells, accidentally caused a rift in time.

As a re-enactor our time travel is more practical, we try to make a living drawing of the time we re-enact.  

When in my 1940s kit, I am always surprised when people take photos of my husband and myself. To me the clothes are modern enough. However it wasn't fun at Goodwood a couple of years ago when my "roll on" corset decided to "roll off" !  After wrestling in the portaloo with it for about 20 minutes, I gave up and put it in my handbag!

Easier for men, a nice scarf, either a straw summer fedora or a brown or black one for winter. In the country a flat cap. Short back and sides and clean shaven. Cream slacks or linen for Summer and black, tan or brown trousers for winter. Always black brogues for work in office or brown shoes for blue collar workers.
I remember my father telling me that when he was a child, the only description of a criminal the police had was that he was not wearing a hat, this was in London 1940s and he was caught. Hats for men have made a comeback. So if like Gary Sparrow you find a doorway into the 1940s and you are a man, make sure you are wearing a hat!

This is Edna's sweetshop at Goodwood, she is talking to some children dressed as war evacuees. She's explaining what sort of sweets were allowed on the ration, and how hundreds and thousands became popular as you got more for your money. Chewing gum generally came from friendly GIs stationed in England. Somewhere I have a fascinating little book called, in it advice for dealing with the British!

"The GI Handbook".

The British Are Tough. Don’t be misled by the British tendency to be soft-spoken and polite. If they need to be, they can be plenty tough. The English language didn’t spread across the oceans and over the mountains and jungles and swamps of the world because these people were panty-waists.
Sixty thousand British civilians-men, women, and children-have died under bombs, and yet the morale of the British is unbreakable and high. A nation doesn’t come through that, if it doesn’t have plain, common guts. The British are tough, strong people, and good allies.
You won’t be able to tell the British much about “taking it.” They are not particularly interested in taking it any more. They are far more interested in getting together in solid friendship with us, so that we can all start dishing it out to Hitler.

Bear that in mind at this moment guys!  

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS WE ARE TOUGH.
