Finished for Now – Land Girls.Me a Memoir

April 12, 2014 By LG-Admin Leave a Comment

For my first try at using Twitter and Facebook, I am going to try sending this post announcing that my memoir of my time in the Women’s Land Army as a Land Girl working in Lancashire, England is complete. Not only have I managed to get all my book up on the web at LandGirls.Me, but we did a site redesign too. A new WordPress theme better complements our design and material. So we really do have something to be proud of, and it was all completed before my upcoming 90th birthday. What more could anyone want than that.

Please provide feedback on the website. I am new to all this and want to do a good as job as possible in letting those interested know about one Land Girls very representative experience.

Land Girls Memoirs and Other Memoirs

In the two step process of creating a paper memoir and now converting it into a web based one, it is my hope that my memoir, Land Girl - The Happiest Years of Early Childhood joins other Land Girl memoirs as a member of that genre, and contributes to it.

My husband has his own memoir through the same process as mine, paper memoir first, then website GunnerFlann.com. He too hopes his memoir contributes to the National Service Memoirs genre.

Please let us know if you agree contact me.
