#39 - 60 Years of Marriage and Life in 1950s London: Insights from My Grandparents

Have you ever wondered what it was like to grow up in post-World War 2 London?

This week’s episode is a special one - I had the privilege of interviewing my grandparents following 60 years of marriage.

Growing up in post-war London, they experienced a world that feels vastly different from today. From playing among bomb sites and strict school discipline to their early romances, family life, and changing roles for women, they paint a picture of daily life in a bygone era.

They also share the secrets behind their six decades of marriage, filled with family, laughter, resilience, and love.
