A scene captured in time to revisit and remember ordinariness

Today’s Tale in ten words arose from a visit to the free exhibition in Bridport’s Town Hall.  A bunch of volunteers have created and are manning a simple and poignant representation of these days a hundred years ago. There is a recreation of a front room of a local Bridport family which has in it many familiar but time-distant objects that one might recall from one’s visits to elderly relatives’ homes but with those occasional reminders of the effects of the war – a ration card, a tabak tin made by a German prisoner-of-war and actual publications of the time.
