Their letters show us not just their blossoming relationship, but what it was like to find love in wartime.
Attendees will be able to hear the letters read aloud, as well as see the original materials.
December 4th, 2-4pm.

All this #Katespiracy stuff is the perfect backdrop to announce that I won a BA Leverhulme Small Grant to investigate Everyday Mysteries through a Mass Observation Project Directive.
