	Who remembers this wartime drama of the early 1970s? FAMILY AT WAR The memorable theme tune is from the First Movement (Allegro) of Vaughan Williams's Sixth Symphony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y11bhs21Ek The series examined the lives of the lower middle-class Ashton family of the city of Liverpool and their experiences from 1938 and through the Second World War. I loved this drama. I wish they would re-run it! :-)

	ooooooo I don't believe it! I have found a song for my Maternal Grandmother's Ancestral Roots .... It appears to have been a TV programme:-D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oh28HwUa5A THE SCARE CROW OF ROMNEY MARSH(1963) MusicScarecrow! Scarecrow! The soldiers of the King feared his name — Scarecrow! On the southern coast of England There’s a legend people tell Of days long ago when the great Scarecrow Would ride from the jaws of Hell And laugh (Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Haaa!) with a fiendish yell! With his clothes all torn and tattered Through the black of night he’d ride, From the marsh to the coast, Like a demon ghost He’d show his face then hide (He’d rob the rich then hide), And he’d laugh (Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Haaa!) ’Til he split his side! Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) The soldiers of the King feared his name Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) The country folk all loved him just the same — Scarecrow! He would always help the farmer, When there was no gold to bring, He’d find a way for the poor to pay The taxes of the King “Scarecrow!” — every man would sing! (With gold from a smuggler’s ring!) So the King told all his soldiers: “Hang him high or hang him low, But never return ’til the day I learn He’s gone in flames below (He rides in flames below), Or you’ll hang — with the great Scarecrow! “ Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) The soldiers of the King feared his name. Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) Scarecrow! (Scarecrow!) The country folk all loved him just the same. Scarecrow! Scarecrow! Scarecrow!Music (Ahhh! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha! Ha-haaa!) The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh aka Dr Syn Alias The Scarecrow. I learned about this character on my FH holiday there last September :-D :-D :-D

	Wow! What great songs Everyone :-D :-D <3 Lovely to see you again KenSE :-) Link for There'll Always Be An England by Dame Vera Lynn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GvkyKEYRnM Can any of you solve a memory lapse? When I was in my teens in the 70s, there was a programme on TV that had "There'll Always Be An England" as the closing theme song. It always used to make me cry for some reason ..... and I'm Welsh! :-D Anyone know what it was?
