Make Do and Mend?
I once found a genuine 1940’s oil lamp in a charity shop, and by the time I got to the check-out I was shaking so much that I couldn’t pull my card out of my purse.
My name’s Hannah, and I am a self-confessed vintage nut.
Growing up, I was raised in an environment of Saturday morning charity shop crawls, and Sunday afternoon’s watching war films with my grandpa, and so I was pretty much doomed to love all things old. Now, as an adult, I struggle to understand the appeal of a modern and minimalist lifestyle, but I am willing to risk being converted so that I can find answers to two big questions: why do people want to escape the modern world? And which lifestyle is better for our planet?
In a series of candid and unfiltered episodes, I will be throwing the lid off society’s mental health and the rising need for escapism. Will I be convinced to move with the times, and ditch the antique furniture for flat-pack, or is vintage here to stay?

I speak to a 90-Year-old Woman about Growing Up in WW2 | VE Day Special 🇬🇧
In this episode, the first of a two part special, I sit down with a remarkable 90-year-old woman, Kath, to hear her firsthand memories of growing up during World War II. From the air raids to rationing, she shares what life was really like for ordinary people living through extraordinary times. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and community in the face of war.
