Our senses are the greatest part of our body! We have many opportunities to enhance those senses—for my eyes they are many great, interesting, teasing rewards—lately, these two books have taken center stage—
Jennifer Ryan has given us two different looks into the lives of WWII women.
“The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir”
The men are away fighting and the choir is void of men’s voices; the vicar has called a halt to the songs. Women of Chilbury Village decide to carry on the singing!
“The Kitchen Front” gives us an insight into cooking in a food rationed kitchen. To offer some uplifting courage to housewives, BBC radio program, “The Home Front”, is holding a cooking contest. What better way to earn some money to assist with their challenges? A story that takes four women from different walks of life to a competition that might create conflict or togetherness.
And boom!! I was back into WWII again. There are way too many stories that we never heard about this war! One night last week we watched “Greyhound”, a movie about a international convey of 37 ships on a mission across Atlantic Ocean to deliver soldiers and supplies to Allied forces. Intense! For me, an unknown story of remarkable bravery and lost souls fighting for freedom.
My ears behold stories of mystery, intrigue, energy, stories of old, love and romance—
Two podcasts that will engage your hearing sense are:
Murder me on Monday—a mother/ son take of murder from days of old—this from UK.
How about classic literature?
Craftlit has recorded many classical books that are public domain—Jane Austin books, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, etc.
maybe books I wouldn’t read on my own but Cratlit gives us a chance to hear these tales along with some crafty news. Up now is “The Three Musketeers”—
Come along and tantalize these two senses and maybe, you will use your other senses—taste, touch, smell!
