Progress?

Today, I intend to get a big chunk of recording done for the memoirs I am writing. It's been going pretty slowly, she's been away on holiday and as a result, I only have a couple of hours of recording so far. So last night, I drafted out some guideline questions to keep us on track, and so can hopefully get quite a bit of the information we need.

There's quite a bit of local history involved in this one, as she has lived in this area all her life, so it's really interesting to travel through time with her, and experience all the changes that have happened in the past 60 years or so. I have some local history books which I hope will inspire her to tell me a bit more about that, which in turn will give a better insight into her own past.

Incidentally, there has just been quite a big redevelopment in this town of Madeley, so to take it from the original village, to part of a big New Town in the 1960's, to something else altogether this year will be something really great to have record of, from someone who has personally witnessed it all!
