What a great project. Is the interviewing and recording on-going?

Finishing WIP is always a worthy goal!

The interviewing is an ongoing part of the project, still.

For example there is a recording of my mother, made in 2015 or so, talking about her memories of WW2 as she grew from a 12 year old to an 18 year old in which she talks about the Italian internees who worked on the family farm, the guards who were billeted in the family home, and the dances at the local RAF bases, amongst other things. I hope this one will become available soon as it would be good to hear her again

I love the idea--and on an island it seems it will be possible to keep the project relatively contained. One of these days your memories will be there as well :)
