Current address:
Wallasey, Wirral
Re-enacting since June 2003
Re-enacts as
1940s Civilian schoolgirl
Profession: 21st
century schoolgirl!
My
Daddy (Mark) said I could come one day. I like sleeping in tents,
and I like the dresses they wore many years ago - even though in winter
your legs get cold. I sometimes take part in the 1940s fashion show that
we do, and I wear some of my new dresses for people to see.
I
like riding on the trains and when there are fairground rides at the
events we go to. At events, we stay in tents and often have to cook
our own food. I like eating my dad's fry-ups of sausage, bacon,
eggs and mushrooms with plum tomatoes .....my favourite!

I like
the fact that other families bring their children to our events.
In the evenings, when the public have gone home, we play in the fields
with other friends. My best friends are Patricia and Victoria
Stanworth from our group, and Amber Minney from Allied Assortment.
My hobbies are tap
dancing and ballet. Since I do this on Saturdays during term time,
I can only go re-enacting during school holidays.
For a
twelve year
old, I have so many things to do. I like history at school, so
being in a group like this helps when I get homework about the 1940s.
I sometimes take my Raccoon
puppet to events. Daddy does a little show with him for other
children that makes them laugh.

For
the 2009 season I will be bringing a selection of childrens toys and
books to events. I have a bean-nosed fluffy rabbit that was
Daddy's when he was a baby (although Daddy's not THAT old!), some Enid
Blyton books, Dr Doolittle books, and some other games. I also
have that horrible gas mask that children had to carry everywhere - I
hate it, because the box is heavy when you carry it all day, and the
sting cuts into the side of your neck! |
