Diane’s history is entwined with the rural locality where she grew up. She selects a few of her favourite objects to take the listener on a journey back through time in the Cotswolds. Diane is a true curator, both of her life and also of an old miniature museum in Filkins, Oxfordshire.

Diane's , memories and knowledge bring those often forgotten times back to life when money was scarce and country jobs were hard yet where values and community bound families and fortunes together.

Listen to her gentle stories about a silk wedding dress dating back to 1899 to a precious custard jug that no-one else would ever notice.
