The Swinging Sixties! - Adventures with my Brother George (Episode 2)

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Episode 2 of Adventures with my Brother George in the Swinging Sixties. In our very first episode, I shared the magical fascination of George’s bold new venture — a transformation that felt, to me, like watching an elegant old Georgian grand hotel come alive again, reborn into with dazzling events set against the backcloth of classic grandeur of another age colliding with the wild, carefree energy of the Swinging Sixties.If you haven’t yet heard that story, it’s waiting for you on my podcast website. That spirit of reinvention, of discovery, of why not? — defined the era. The Sixties were buzzing with change and possibility, and this episode carries that same electric energy forward.Because in that time, and in this story, one thing was certain: anything was possible... and anything goes!Today, I'm joined by my niece, Dee.  She was brought up in Weymouth. She is the first of George and June's talented and interesting girls. Dee has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the family in the Wyke House Hotel and Weymouth, handed down to her from her mum, June, and her aunties, including Liz, Angela, and Anne, as well as Anne's husband, Dennis. All of these people and more, you will find featured in this series.Enjoy! Visit my website for more podcasts and articles - a space where the past meets the present, and where I try to use my experience and travels to bring history, places to life.
