My Mothers Diaries Podcast

My Mother’s Diaries tells the true story of one farming family living at Hiltonbury Farm in Chandler’s Ford, Hampshire, from 1948 to 1976.

Each episode is narrated by Andy Vining from the diaries written by his mother, Margaret Kathleen (BeBe)  Vining. Her words bring to life the everyday joys, worries and challenges of post-war family life — from harvests, livestock and changing farming methods to village events, family celebrations and the raising of six children.

These remarkable diaries offer a warm and personal window into a way of life that has largely disappeared, preserving the memories, people and stories of rural England for future generations.

New episodes are narrated by Andy Vining and released every Sunday at 7.00 PM UK time
