We spent an enjoyable couple of hours with Terry Cook looking at the sort of things we might have been eating or drinking or watching during the 1960s and seeing what continues to be familiar in our lives today and what has become unacceptable like the marmalade labels which could be swapped for a brooch or a figure playing some kind of musical instrument, or those sweet cigarettes with alluring names like Andy Pandy cigarettes.
 

Terry painted a picture of the era by reminding us of the key issues like the construction of the Berlin wall, the Profumo affair and the introduction of the pill. This session allowed us to contribute our own memories of the period although our memories were less forthcoming than at the last meeting which involved newspaper stories from 150 years ago. These meetings are very informal with gentle supervision from Terry with each person contributing as much or as little as they wish.
