St Mary's Weekly Eco Tip: Memories of living with less

During Remembrance Week, we honour the memories of those who gave their lives but it’s also a wonderful time to reach out to those who lived through WWII and the years of rationing, and listen to their stories. They can teach us so much about living well with less: from stretching rations by growing tomatoes on a windowsill, to keeping a few chickens in the garden, or making clothes last without modern conveniences like washing machines.

Most importantly, they remind us how to find joy and laughter even in tough times and how simple, wholesome living once helped Britons eat more healthily than ever before or since.
