ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã podcast: Remembrance Day special - How one WW2 evacuee found a lifetime of happiness on the farm

On September 3, 1939, Great Britain declared war on Germany. A day in British history which will never be forgotten and a day which changed the life of one little girl from Sunderland. 

Just five years old when war broke out, Norma Earnshaw was evacuated to rural North Yorkshire where she discovered a love of farming.

Unbeknown to her at the time, this move would ultimately lead her to a life on the farm. A life she would not have been exposed to without the war. 

On this week's ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã podcast, our livestock reporter Katie Fallon, got to sit down with her very own grandma, Norma, and look back on how WW2 shaped the course of both her grandmothers life and her family's life today.
