@DorsetMuseum Mary and her sister Kate birth trained to teach at College in Salisbury. Mary had little opportunity to paint whilst there as her days were taken up with lectures,Cathedral services and industrial work which meant doing arduous household chores.

Thinking of beautiful Channel Islands today 75 years after the liberation from the Occupation.

[Inspired to Teach @inspiredteachbk]

A year ago'We Will Teach' was published, telling stories of Channel Island women who trained at Salisbury Training College(now @SalisburyMuseum). We should never forget the hardships suffered by Channel Islanders under five long years of Nazi occupation.

Seventy five years ago Salisbury Training College students (now @SalisburyMuseum) decorated King's House ready for VE Day celebrations.

Peace on Salisbury Plain today. We remember all those soldiers who trained here in the years leading up to May 1945 and we give thanks for them.

@DorsetMuseum Hello Harriet great Tweet. Sorry we were unable to meet with you before the lockdown. We are working on our book but it’s tricky without access to first hand evidence. I am particularly interested in any letters sent to or from Kate during her years at College.
Best wishes
Anne

A glorious May day on Salisbury Plain. Skylarks singing and beautiful skies.

A field of cowslips and a beautiful sunset- much needed tranquillity and calm.

There were many strong women at Salisbury Teacher Training College. They worked hard but also enjoyed themselves, as on this trip to Stonehenge in 1922.
