Some of us recently went to Pickering, in Yorkshire, to do the WWII weekend. The whole town takes part with shops selling 1940’s gear, halls serving 40’s style food, & street displays ranging from 1940’s singing stars Lola & George Formby to stalls selling memorabilia. Lots of people dress up for the weekend. Helen dressed in her 1940’s dress turned a few heads whilst riding her outfit.

There are events on & around the station as well as events held at all the stations up the line. Friday evening we went to the pub for some food & they had a 1940’s karaoke, Sat night was a WWII quiz which John Spavhound & Denis Harding won beating a pub full of 1940’s re-enactors to boot.
